Dissolution of a test portion taken from the laboratory sample, previosly ground and sifted. Addition of formaldehyde to transform any ammonium ions present into hexamethylenetetramine and of the disodium salt of ethylenediamin tetra-acetic acid to complex any extraneous cations present which could cause excessive errors.
