Rapid determination of halogens in blood serum by instrumental neutron-activation analysis

Nathan Lavi  and  Zeev B. Alfassi  

Abstract

The absolute concentrations of bromine and iodine in blood serum have been determined by epithermal neutron activation followed by high-resolution gamma and X-ray spectrometry. The concentrations of bromine and iodine were found to be 6.66 ± 0.21 µg ml–1 and 88.8 ± 4.0 ng ml–1, respectively, and the detection limits were 37 and 15 ng ml–1, respectively. These methods were compared with thermal neutron activation of bromine, a long delay being required for gamma-ray spectrometry and the use of a magnet for X-ray measurements. For iodine a preliminary chemical separation is imperative.
