title: Further study on spectrophotometric determination of CO--Hb in post-mortem blood.
abstract: The method for spectrophotometric determination of CO--Hb in blood on the basis of difference in absorbancies of deoxy- and carboxy-hemoglobin reported previously [1] was further improved. The total blood hemoglobin content was determined by the azide-methemoglobin method instead of the well-known cyanmethemoglobin method. This method was found to be useful even if applied to old or putrefied blood samples.
