Abstract

Use of an enriched isotope as an activable tracer is proposed for the preconcentration of trace elements in neutron activation analysis. As a test of this method, contents of cadmium in various biological standard samples were determined by addition of an enriched116Cd tracer in the preconcentration step followed by neutron irradiation and γ-ray spectrometry. The principle, advantage, and limitations of the method are also discussed.
