Preferred Abstract (Original): 

Sensitive methods for the determination of trace amounts of cobalt and copper by complexation with 3-(2'-Thiazolylazo)-2,6- diaminopyridine (2,6-TADAP) are described. Copper forms a 1:2 violet complex with the reagent having a molar absorptivity of 1.00  times 104 L mol-1cm-1, Baer's law is obeyed over the range 0 -50.84 μg in the total volume of 10ml. Cobalt also forms a 1:1 green complex with a molar absorptivity of 1.07 times 104L mol-1cm-1 and obeying Beer's law over the range 0 -23.57 μg in the total volume of 10 ml. The procedure is simple and rapid without any tedious extraction steps for copper and without oxidation of cobalt (II) to cobalt (III).
