Article: Measurement techniques for tracer kinetic studies with stable isotopes of zirconium.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biokinetic models are used in radiation protection to assess internal radiation doses. Experiments with stable isotopes as tracers can be performed to obtain characteristic parameters of these models. Two methods for the measurement of zirconium isotopes in human biological samples are presented--thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS) and proton nuclear activation analysis (PNA). Descriptions include sample preparation, operating conditions, relative uncertainties and method detection limits as well as important properties of both methods.Radiation Protection Dosimetry 02/2007; 127(1-4):266-9. · 0.82 Impact Factor
