A method is described for the determination of copper and zinc in biological material using the technique of activation aralysis. The limit of detection of the method is 4 x 10/sup -10/ g for copper, and 5 x lO/sup -8/ for zinc. The method has been used to determine copper and zinc in single seeds and in humam blood. Tbe seeds of tomato plants grown under controlled conditions contained about 8 ppm of copper and 150 ppm of zinc. The mean copper in the bIood of 16 subjects was found to be 75.5 mu g/lOO ml, aud the mean zinc 0.77 mg/ lOO ml, (auth)
