A new assay method was developed to determine added stable caesium (Cs) in blood plasma. The simple and inexpensive method is based on the competition between stable and radioactive Cs in binding to ammonium-iron(II)-hexacyanoferrate(III) (AFCF), followed by the precipitation of AFCF-bound Cs with plasma proteins, and the measurement of the radioactivity of the precipitate...
