Abstract
A convenient, precise bioassay for vitamin K is reported based on the analysis of chick plasma with Russell's viper venom. Data obtained by this procedure were normally distributed for statistical evaluation. The relative molar activities of several forms of vitamin K and the concentration of vitamin K in a number of animal tissues are given.Keywords
