title: [Water content in thin films of nucleic acid nitrogen bases. Ultramicroquantitative determination by means of a quartz resonator].
abstract: A method of quartz resonator is proposed for accurate micro- and ultramicroquantitative analysis of water in various biological systems. Sensitivity of this method may be about 10(-9) g. Some advantages and specific applications of quartz resonator are shown by "weighing" water rigidly bound to homogenous dry films of cytosine at great changes of their mass. It is suggested to use the quartz resonator with a specific sorbent applied to it as an efficient detector of small quantities of gases and microadmixtures of solved substances.
