title: Simultaneous multielement atomic-absorption analysis of biological materials.
abstract: A prototype multielement atomic-absorption spectrometer (SIMAAC) consisting of a continuum source and an echelle polychromator modified for wavelength modulation, has been used to determine several elements in a variety of biological materials. Analyses have been done with flame atomization as well as graphite furnace atomization. Compromise atomization conditions do not significantly limit the accuracy or precision. Analytical results for a variety of samples are reported.
