STUDIES ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN A MOLLUSK FROM A FRESH- WATER ENVIRONMENT, BY ACTIVATION ANALYSIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4100805
From Symposium on Radioactivation Analysis and its Application to the Biological Sciences, Saclay, France, Sept. 1963. A semi-automated system for the determination of trace elements in biological materials by means of activation analysis is described. The system is based on the chemical separation of elements in the irradiated specimens by chromatographic procedures; automatic gamma spectrometry, with the use of sample changers; and automatic treatment of the experimental data by computer techniques. The biological results obtained on Unio, a bivalve from Lake Maggiore, revealed the presence of elements never before determined in a mollusk from a freshwater environment. (C.H.)
