Multielement assays of canine serum, liver, and kidney by inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy. 1986

H D Stowe, and W E Braselton, and M Slanker, and J B Kaneene

Inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy was used to measure Al, As, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Mn, Hg, Mo, P, K, Se, Na, Tl, and Zn in canine specimens (70 serum, 270 liver, and 200 kidney). Mean concentrations of each of these elements in detectable amounts in these samples were established, and histograms of the concentration distributions of elements in the samples were developed.
