Abstract

In order to study instrumental charged-particle activation analysis using the internal standard method, simultaneous determination of several selected elements, such as Ca, Ti, V, Fe, Zn, As, Sr, Zr and Mo, in oyster tissue, brewer's yeast and mussel has been examined by using the respective (p, n) reactions and a personal computer-based gamma-ray spectrometer equipped with a micro-robot for sample changing. In the above determination, constant amounts of Y and La were added to the sample and comparative standard as exotic internal standards. As a result, it was demonstrated that concentrations of the above elements can be determined accurately and precisely.
