Webb, M S.W.

Bone ash or calcium strontium oxalate fractions precipitated from the ash of milk or vegetation are diluted with graphite and copper sulfate and pelleted. Pellets are burned in graphite cups with anodic excitation at 7 amp dc. A Hilger 3-meter or a Hilger large automatic spectrograph may be used to record the spectra The range covered is from 50 ppm to 350 ppm of strontium in the bone ash or oxalate fraction. The coefficient of variation at the 100 ppm level is 3% for the mean of four exposures. (auth)
