Enhanced sensitivity for the determination of selenium by INAA.

Abstract:

:A working analytical procedure for selenium determinations by INAA, using gamma spectrometry with a germanium well-type detector, is presented. The spectral line at 400.7 keV is employed, enhanced with the effect of energy summing in true coincidence of cascade photons. The main advantage of the method is high efficiency and reliable, interference-free results; potential drawbacks are increases in input count rate and pile-up losses, decrease in resolution, and sensitivity to errors in sample-to-detector geometry. The procedure is applied to certification analysis of reference materials, large-area biomonitoring by oak leave samples, and determination of separated proteins.
