Tritium Labelling of Organic Compounds by Means of Electric Discharge

>Tritium labeling of solid organic compounds by means of electric discharge in tritium in the 10 mm pressure region is shown to he a feasible technique. Details of experiments with p-dichlorobenzene, naphthalene, and palmitic acid sre presented. Some advantages of the dischsrge method are pointed out, and results are compared with those obtained by the gas exposure technique for labeling. (auth)
