A specific, sensitive, and simple method of simultaneously determining calcium and strontium in biological material is described. Samples are burned in a closed atmosphere of oxygen, then taken up in dilute HNO/sub 3/. An aliquot is submitted to ascending paper chromatography. Calcium and strontium are separated from each othe-r, then recovered by calcination. Both elements are estimated by complexometric microtitration with EDTA, using calcein as indicator. Amounts of 25 x 10/sup -9/M calcium and strontium are quantitatively recovered to within 1 to 2% and can be determined with a coefficient of variation of about 5%. For larger quantities, the reproducibility ranges from 1 to 4%. (auth)
