摘要
A method for weighing very small wet tissue samples with a view to estimating percentage water is described, involving the use of gold foil buckets weighed on an electrobalance. A comparison of precision of this method and that of an existing method is presented. The effect on percentage water of freezing the tissue has been investigated. The rate of evaporation of water from tissue in unsealed containers has been estimated and a relationship shown with the weight of the tissue. The rate of evaporation can be minimized by folding correctly. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
