Sažetak
The most commonly encountered difficulties for the quantitative measure of zinc in biological samples are the limited sample amount, total and effective digestion of connective and fatty residues and low zinc concentrations. These problems often lead to the determination of lower zinc values than actually present, so that the sample preparation, digestion and analytical procedure deserve careful attention. In this short communication a new method for microwave tissue disintegration is described. We have obtained consistent and reproducible results with tissue samples of 0.5 g or less.
