Since the chloroethyl bond is the most labile, the presence of 14C-ethylene formed upon hydrolysis by 6 ml of 1 N NaOH was used as a measure of the amount of intact parent molecule. Samples were stored at -10°C until measured allowing the dissipation of gaseous 14C-ethylene from within the tissue before assaying. Samples were sliced in small pieces with a razor and placed in sealed 125 ml Erlenmyer flasks containing 2 ml of mecuric acetate in a small test tube. NaOH was introduced to the tissue through the serum vile stopper sealing the flask. After 24 hr the mecuric acetate was transferred to scintillation viles containing 20 ml of dioxane and counted.
