Summary
Cr could be demonstrated in reaction products of adrenaline and noradrenaline with K2Cr2O7 by spot test analysis. The strong contrast of amine granules in the electron microscope partly may be due to the presence of Cr within them. When KJO3 is used for oxydizing amines, only a slight contrast of granules can be observed in the electron microscope.
