Silica in plants: biological, biochemical and chemical studies. (2007, methodology): “Colorimetric methods [molybdenum yellow and blue (the latter being more sensitive to low concentrations)], atomic absorption and inductively coupled plasma analysis are all methods that have been used to measure Si concentrations in solution (Iler, 1979; Perry, 2003).”
An Overview of Biomineralization Processes and the Problem of the Vital Effect (2003, background): “Amorphous silica is commonly formed by organisms and has been investigated extensively (see Perry 2003).”
