BACKGROUND: It would be useful to develop a simple kit method for determination of thiocyanate in urine, which could be used to monitor cyanide overload in cassava-consuming populations.
METHODS: The method was based on the quantitative oxidation of thiocyanate in acid permanganate at room temperature in a closed vial with liberation of HCN, which reacted with a picrate paper. For semiquantitative analysis in the field, the colored picrate paper was matched with a color chart prepared using known amounts of KSCN. In the laboratory, a more accurate result was obtained by elution of the colored complex in water and measurement of the absorbance at 510 nm. Over the range 0-100 mg/L, there was a linear relationship given by the equation: thiocyanate content (mg/L) = 78 x absorbance.
RESULTS: The picrate thiocyanate method gave no interference with urine samples containing protein at less than 7 g/L, 21 amino acids, histamine, glucose, NaCl, urea, blood, and linamarin. For 53 urine samples analyzed by an accurate column method and the thiocyanate picrate method, a regression line gave very good agreement (r(2) = 1. 000). Quantitative recoveries of thiocyanate added to urine samples were obtained with the picrate method.
CONCLUSIONS: A simple picrate kit for determination of thiocyanate in urine was developed and is available free of charge for workers in developing countries.
