A. Lagerwaard et al., AN INDEPENDENT ACCURATE REFERENCE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM IN BIOLOGICAL-MATERIALS, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 351(8), 1995, pp. 786-789
A method for the determination of Cr in biological materials with high
accuracy is reported for use as an independent reference method. It i
s based on radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA) in combina
tion with an individual yield determination based on the online yield
principle. A precision of better than 4% between replicate determinati
ons was achieved by application to biological materials with Cr conten
ts on the 100 mu g . kg(-1) level. Analytical characteristics of the m
ethod offer good perspectives for Cr assays at lower levels.
