Neutron activation analysis is a very useful method for determination of a great number of elements in biological samples. At the Radiochemistry Division of the IPEN-CNEN/SP, this method is being extensively applied to study several materials, such as extracts from medicinal plants, human hair, snake venoms, human lungs, food-stuffs, and corn samples. Both instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA) are used to analyze real samples, as well as biological standard reference materials to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the results.
中子活化分析是测定生物样品中大量元素的一种非常有用的方法。在巴西国家核能委员会/圣保罗州能源与核技术研究所放射化学部，该方法正被广泛应用于研究多种材料，如药用植物提取物、人类毛发、蛇毒、人类肺部组织、食品和玉米样品。仪器中子活化分析（INAA）和放射化学中子活化分析（RNAA）都用于分析实际样品以及生物标准参考物质，以评估结果的准确性和精密度。
