title: A photodecomposition fluorimetric method for determination of riboflavin in the various constitutents of blood.
abstract: The photodecomposition fluorimetric method has been modified for determination of small quantities of whole blood, erythrocytes, leucocytes, platelets and plasma. The method is accurate in each constituent and contains a test of specificity in each determination. Automation of the method is described. In 13 normal subjects riboflavin in whole blood was range 14.5-24.2, mean 17.7 +/- 2.7 microgram %, in corresponding erythrocytes was range 21.0-44.0, mean 33.7 +/- 6.6 microgram%.
