Chemisches Untersuchungsamt, Stadt Bielefeld, Germany.

With headspace-technique in conjunction with a flamephotometric detector (FPD) a fast and sensitive method for the determination of dithiocarbamates from organic foodstuff is presented. The dithiocarbamates are treated with tin-(II)-chloride and determined quantitatively as carbon disulfide (CS2). The evaluation of the data is performed by calibration curves.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D010783	Photometry	Measurement of the various properties of light.	Photometries
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
