The determination of antimony, cadmium, cerium, iridium and silver in biological material by radioactivation
Abstract
A method for determining antimony, cadmium, cerium, iridium and silver simultaneously in a sample of biological material is described. The method involves radioactivation to long-lived radionuclides by using thermal neutrons from a reactor, and has a high sensitivity. The technique has been used to measure these five elements in a standard biological material.
