- Abstract
- This volume consists of thirteen papers describing the analytical procedures selected at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) for the determination of Ag, Al, As, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Pt, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, V, and Zn in biological and botanical materials. These procedures are used at the present time for the certification of various substances issued by NBS as Standard Reference Materials, and belong to the following analytical disciplines: sample preparation, neutron activation analysis, spark source mass spectrometric isotope dilution, atomic absorpiton and flame emission spectrometry, molecular absorption spectrometry, fluorescence spectrometry, and polarography. Further details on the analytical methods including sample preparation, purity of reagents, and problems associated with blanks are given in sixteen additional papers which are reproduced in the Appendix to this volume.
