Abstract
The effect of formaldehyde as a preservative for milk prior to radiochemical analysis for 131I was studied. Results suggest that the formaldehyde concentration is critical and that at low formaldehyde concentrations (<0.5 M) significant protein binding of iodine occurs. Various alternatives for preserving milk prior to analysis for 131I and stable iodide by the specific ion electrode method are presented.
