Tc-99 Analysis with Picogram Sensitivity by a Resin-Bead Mass-Spectrometric Isotope-Dilution Technique

Journal Article · · Analytical Chemistry
OSTI ID:780113

This paper describes an improved isotope-dilution mass-spectrometric procedure. Important improvements are a highly selective (yet non-critical) isolation scheme devised primarily from the work of Maeck, et al. and a significant increase in the mass spectrometric ionization efficiency for technetium obtained by analyzing the technetium absorbed on individual anion exchange resin beads.
