A Modified Orcinol Reaction for RNA Determination

[摘要] The Schneider orcinol technic for pentose estimation was modified by replacing ferric chloride with cupric acetate in glacial acetic acid as catalyst, to make the test more sensitive and less DNA-reactive. In addition, data were obtained showing that human plasma contains no detectable nucleic acid by the spectrophotometric determinations applied.
