Multielement assays of bovine tissue specimens by inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy.
Inductively coupled argon plasma spectroscopy was used to generate multielement profiles of bovine serum (n = 607), liver (n = 229), and kidney (n = 90) samples submitted to the Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory at Michigan State University, East Lansing. The presented frequency distribution histograms of element concentrations in the different samples provided a data base for diagnostic interpretations and illustrated some of the advantages, as well as limitations, of inductively coupled argon plasma for this purpose.
