Abstract A previously reported method for the determination of Se in biological materials has been slightly modified for use on plant materials. Based on a wet digestion and measurement of the fluorescence of the piazselenol formed on reaction with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene, the method as used is sensitive to about 0.02 μg Se. The results of several studies of the method, including a collaborative study, are reported. This method is recommended for adoption as official first action.
