A simple and sensitive method for the determination of vanadium in tissues was established by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry with graphite furnace atomisation. The proposed method includes formation of a chelate-complex by reacting vanadium with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDCA), extracting the chelate with xylene and measurement of the extract using atomic absorption spectrometry. The recoveries of added vanadium in various rat tissues were 96.7 and 109.3%, within 8.6% of the coefficients variation. The sensitivity of this method is 10-50 times higher than previous methods, the detection limit is 0.01 {mu}g/g.
