ANDERS opened the discussion by presenting a list of what should be done prior to a comet sample return. Firstly, realistic simulations should be performed for the major processes forming and altering organic matter in interstellar space, e.g. irradiation and heating of condensates. The products of

โฆ Synopsis
ZINNER began the discussion on new instrumentation and techniques to be expected in the next years before comet sample return and pointed out that new as well as existing techniques would continue to be utilised on IDPs and primitive meteorites yielding important and exciting results. As had been demonstrated by WALKER, there existed many techniques in other disciplines which probably would be also beneficial for extraterrestrial material research. But he warned -taking the 20-year experience with SIMS as an example -to expect immediate useful results from their application.

A new method for the rapid analysis of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPJ which utilizes the enzyme ATP sulfurylase is described. All components of the assay system are commercially available and inexpensive. The assay is linear over the range of 0.5-50.0 nmol of PP, and is not affected by inorganic phosp
