Dear Colleagues,
I am planning to investigate Fe absorption from an oral anti-anemic
iron preparation using a labeled 59Fe (beta emittor) . Our current
limit of quantification with liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is
between 0.1 to 1 Becquerel/mL blood or serum. Do you have any
information on how the sensitivity can be improved, and whether
accelerator mass spectrometry is a useful tool for such isotope and
could offer advantage over LSC.
I am also looking for some information about the allowed radiation
dose for human use from such Fe preparation.
Highly appreciated your input.
Kind Regards,
