An ultramicro-colorimetric method was developed based on Hoffman's modification of Sendroy's iodine chloride titration method using silver iodate. This method was shown to be comparable to other methods for determination of serum chloride and can be performed with as little as 0.02 m?. Of serum. This method correlates well with chloridimetry (coefficient of correlation 0.991). Repeatability of 20 duplicate determinations was excellent (coefficient of variation=0.56 %)
