Popis: A new sensitive method has been developed for the biological assay of acetylcholine using a serosal strip of the rabbit fundus. The preparation responded to the muscarinic effect of acetylcholine. It has the advantage of being highly sensitive to acetylcholine, in a dose of 0.5 ng/ml, particularly when eserinized. This sensitivity is maintained throughout the experiment and is thus at least equal to, if not more than that of other methods described. The preparation lacks rhythmic activity and shows good discrimination between different small quantities of acetylcholine.
