Abstract

A rapid method is described for the determination of tin in biological material, using123Sn (T=40 m). The chemical procedure is based on the nearly quantitative extraction of tetravalent tin into toluene from an acid 1.3M iodide solution. The recovery is determined by spiking the solution with113Sn and measuring the activity of the113mIn daughter in the counting sample. The lower limit of the determination is ≃0.01μg. Results are given for standard kale powder and dried animal blood.
