An improved technique for the determination of inorganic and total mercury in human blood, hair, urine and tissue samples by the Magos methods, based on the use of a new reaction vessel, is described. With this vessel, the sample throughput is tripled, the amount of sample and concomitant reagents required are reduced by a factor of five, the precision, accuracy and sensitivity are measurably improved and the technique in amenable to automation.
