Abstract
A simple ion-exchange separation scheme has been developed for the separation of over 50 constituent chemical elements in biological tissues into 12 to 15 groups suitable for quantitative gamma-ray spectrometry. The scheme incorporates several important improvements and modifications of earlier radiochemical ion-exchange separation procedures, and allows rapid simultaneous quantitative analyses of a large number of constituent components in tissues. The procedures can easily be adapted for use with a variety of other materials and mixtures. The components of the various fractious are listed and their gamma-spectrometric analysis is discussed. The separation is comparatively quick, and yields clean and easily-identifiable components.
