Popis: Amounts of silicone removable from disposable plastic syringes were determined (as silicon) by the use of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This method revealed that the silicone fluid employed as a lubricant was present in distilled water expressed from 20 to 60 percent of the syringes. As contrasted with the total silicone extractable by dissolving with methyl isobutyl ketone, water-removable silicone appeared to be removed by a mechanical flushing action.
