摘要
The biological use of the stable isotope calcium-48 for tracing required the determination of isotopic concentrations in calcium samples. The separated calcium was converted to fluoride and distilled in vacuum onto tantalum disks. After activation with 5-MeV deuterons the activities of 8.8-min 49Ca gave a measure of the calcium-48 content and the 4-hour activities of scandium-43 and -44 a measure of the natural calcium content. By using the 42Ca and 43Ca of natural calcium as internal standard, the isotopic concentration of 48Ca was determined without the need for measuring fluxes, yields, or sample weights. Milligram quantities of calcium fluoride were analyzed with a relative standard deviation of ±2.0%. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
