A technique for determining manganese concentration of tissue utilizing a histological preparation of the tissue and neutron activation analysis has been reported. A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of varying the standardized procedure in a manner which might be anticipated in actual application and to determine whether manganese was washed out of the tissue. It was found that some manganese was washed out of rat tissue during the Autotechnicon process. Results indicated that the standard method should not be varied.
