Neutron activation analysis

Post by Neon »

Hi, do we need a calibration curve for NAA analysis or not? I also wonder how long this analysis takes?
Thank you!

Determining the amount of mercury in hair. The basic method would be CVAAS, but I have to mention an alternative. I was thinking of taking NAA. I have to compare according to analysis time, detection limit, analysis type and other specifics.

This analytical method is widely utilized in various fields such as archaeology, forensics, and environmental research. While it does not directly relate to understanding such scientific techniques can help students in their research and academic work.
