Abstract
The development of an analytical technique generally applicable to the determination of Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn in all biological tissues is described. All of these elements may readily be determined in tissue samples of less than 0.5 g using flameless atom reservoir atomic absorption with a Perkin-Elmer heated graphite atomizer. Some of the operational characteristics of this atomizer system are discussed. The utility of the method is illustrated by analyses of selected marine biota and of NBS standard orchard leaves.Keywords
