By use of neutron activation analysis and a simple chemical separation procedure, 14 elements have been determined in human whole blood. Gamma-ray analysis of the activated blood is performed with a Ge(Li) detector. The concentration range of the elements measured vary from ppb to ppt. Possible sources of error including sample contamination, fast nuclear reactions, and interfering gamma rays are considered.
