Abstract

A very accurate and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of Co and Ni in biological materials has been elaborated. The method is based on radiochemical neutron activation. Irradiation of samples in Cd-shielded channel of a nuclear reactor assures balanced activity ratio of58Co and60Co isotopes and favourable detection limits for both nickel and cobalt. Column chromatography (ion exchange and extraction) has been used for the quantitative and selective isolation of the determined radionuclides. High accuracy of the method has been demonstrated by the analysis of several certified reference materials.
