A rapid technique for preparation of aquatic macrophyte samples for measuring 14C incorporation. Lewis, M. R., Kemp, W. M., Cunningham, J. J., & Court Stevenson, J. Aquatic Botany, 1982.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
A nitric acid digestion method is presented for rapid and inexpensive preparation of 14C-labelled macrophyte tissue for liquid scintillation counting. No significant difference was found when the method was compared to combustion in oxygen. Results from time-series experiments with labelled sucrose as well as plant materials indicated little loss of labelled organics as volatile compounds over a 16 h period, and complete recovery of the label was attained. © 1982.
