Abstract:

The Congo red microscopical test for damage to cotton developed at the Shirley Institute at Manchester has been examined and extended to meet our requirements. The procedure has been standardised and a table of observations on material damaged in the laboratory has been prepared, so that the type and degree of various forms of damage to cotton materials, in general, may be assessed on a semi-quantitative basis.
