Abstract
Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the elements Cu, Mn, As, Cd, Fe, Mo, Zn, Co, Cr, and Se in biological materials. Three different activation analytical techniques were tested by analysing one and the same sample: (1) the instrumental determination, (2) the determination after removal of the major contaminants24Na and32P, and (3) the determination after radiochemical separation. These three techniques are described and the results obtained are discussed. The detection limits determined for each technique are compared.
