The procedure described byFrazer4,6 for the simultaneous determination of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen has been scaled down to the submilligram level with no serious loss of accuracy. Approximately six complete determinations can be made in an eight-hour day. Whereas the accuracy depends to a large extent upon the analyst's technique, the method presented is comparatively straightforward. Analysts with no previous microanalytical training have been able to obtain results equivalent to the accuracy shown in Table I after two weeks of experience with the procedure.
