Abstract

A method was developed for assay of iron based on its radioactivation by means of a 26 MeV proton bombardment. The technique was sensitive to 20 to 100 ppm of iron diluted by large excesses of extraneous proteins and major or trace mineral elements. It could be shown that the incorporation of iron in one blastodisc, from the stage of 1 somite to that of 16 somites, is strictly parallel with the weight increase of its ashes.
