Abstract
Neutron activation of Mo in urine was performed by radiochemical separation, both via the ^101^Mo (T~1/2~ 14.6 min) and via the ^99^Mo (T~1/2~ 66.2 h)β^99m^Tc (6.02 h). The urinary excretion of Mo of 9 healthy individuals ranged from 11.1 up to 88.0 ΞΌg. day^β1^. The variation of the Moβexcretion in the course of the day was studied as well.
