Abstract
A simple method was developed for the low level determination of manganese in biological materials by neutron activation analysis with radiochemical separation based on manganese dioxide precipitation. Precision and accuracy of the method were tested by analyses of IAEA reference materials Animal Muscle H-4, Milk Powder A-11, Freeze Dried Animal Blood A-13, Horse Kidney H-8, and Mixed Human Diet H-9. Interferences from iron and cobalt were also evaluated.
