On the Determination of Indium in Biological Material by Neutron Activation Analysis

Abstract

<p>Neutron activation has been investigated as a method suitable for the analysis of biological material for indium. Irradiations followed by chemical separation were performed on four materials; calf brain, pine leaves, kale and rabbit liver. The procedure developed was critically evaluated and indium concentrations in the pine leaves, kale and rabbit liver are reported for the first time . The values found were 2.20 ± 0:42 ppb, 0.69 ± 0.10 ppb, and 0.032 ± 0.007 ppb, respectively.</p>
