Transition metals in an experimental tumour system

Summary In this report we present an analysis by atomic absorption spectrometry of some of the transition metals Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, and Ni in tissues and nuclear fractions in an experimental tumour system.Acknowledgments. The atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis was done at the Health Physics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay. The author are indebted to Dr S.D. Soman, Director, Health Physics Division for providing facilities for the said analysis.
