The simultaneous use of the two radio-iron isotopes (Fe/sup 55/ and Fe/ sup 59/) available today offers distinct advantages in studies on iron absorption and metabolism. The greatly differing energy of radiation from these isotopes makes the precision of the double isotope analysis dependent on both the preparation of the sample and on the counting system. As a result of studies on both these steps a method is described in detail. The determinations are performed on electroplated samples in a gas-flow counter using beryllium and platinum absorbers. The method has given very satisfactory results in studies on the absorption and metabolism of iron in humans. (auth)
