In vivo incorporation of radioactive 36Cl, a method for monitoring chloro compounds in biological material

A new method for fast and easy monitoring of the presence, isolation, and separation of natural chloro compounds in plants is described. The method relies on the in vivo incorporation of radioactive 36Cl and new enhancement methods in autoradiographic technology. The method allows the time of exposure to be limited to 4 days and is thus suitable for routine purposes.
