A simplified mixed color dithizone method for the determination of bismuth in biological material is described. Treatment of the digest with sulfur dioxide prevents decomposition of the dithizone by the iron and eliminates tin as an interfering metal, hence permits the determination of bismuth with a single extraction. The method eliminates the necessity of removing the excess dithizone or preparing standard dithizone solutions. Consistent recoveries with a mean error of less than one microgram are obtainable.
