A kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace cobalt(II) was established. It was based on the Co(II) catalyzing the discoloring reaction of malachite green by potassium periodate in the presence of HBO3-Na2B4O7 solution (pH = 8.5). The sensitivity of the method is 2.1 x 10(-10) g.mL-1. The range of determination is 0-0.8 microgram.25 mL-1. The apparent activation of catalytic reaction is 37.94 kJ.mol-1. The method has been applied to the determination of cobalt in tea leaf and injection of vitamin B12 samples with satisfactory results.

D003035	Cobalt	A trace element that is a component of vitamin B12. It has the atomic symbol Co, atomic number 27, and atomic weight 58.93. It is used in nuclear weapons, alloys, and pigments. Deficiency in animals leads to anemia; its excess in humans can lead to erythrocytosis.	Cobalt-59,Cobalt 59
D012394	Rosaniline Dyes	Compounds that contain the triphenylmethane aniline structure found in rosaniline. Many of them have a characteristic magenta color and are used as COLORING AGENTS.

D012680	Sensitivity and Specificity	Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)	Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D013053	Spectrophotometry	The art or process of comparing photometrically the relative intensities of the light in different parts of the spectrum.
D013662	Tea	The infusion of leaves of CAMELLIA SINENSIS (formerly Thea sinensis) as a beverage, the familiar Asian tea, which contains CATECHIN (especially epigallocatechin gallate) and CAFFEINE.	Black Tea,Green Tea,Black Teas,Green Teas,Tea, Black,Tea, Green,Teas, Black,Teas, Green
D014805	Vitamin B 12	A cobalt-containing coordination compound produced by intestinal micro-organisms and found also in soil and water. Higher plants do not concentrate vitamin B 12 from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. INTRINSIC FACTOR is important for the assimilation of vitamin B 12.	Cobalamin,Cyanocobalamin,Cobalamins,Eritron,Vitamin B12,B 12, Vitamin,B12, Vitamin
