A Guideline for Application of Neutron Activation Analysis to Biological and Medical Samples
Abstract
In the biological and medical field, a number of trace elements are known to play an important role in relation to health and disease, or are suspected of doing so. Many researchers have used neutron activation analysis of these samples to study the behavior of trace elements. And neutron activation analysis has become today a versatile, high sensitivity and accuracy analytical method in not only biology and medicine but also all fiels of science and technology. One of the reasons is that mu1ti-e1ements in a little amount of sample can be determined simultaneously and nondestructively with high sensitivity and accuracy by means of this technique. Therefore, neutron activation analysis has born a part in decision of concentrations of many trace elements in most reference standard materials (prepared by NBS and NIES et al.) for a quality assuarance of analytical deta,too.
