Abstract
New boronated molecules that accumulate in tumor cells through various mechanisms have been introduced in recent years. The Finnish BNCT research group is studying boronated LDL as a potential 10B carrier1,2. Boron concentrations have been determined by charged particle bombardment and by different forms of inductively-coupled plasma analysis3,4,5. Also, the use of thermal neutrons in prompt-γ analysis of 10B has been described recently6,7. In this study four boron analysis methods have been tested: proton induced gamma emission analysis, inductively coupled atomic emission spectrometry and mass spectrometry, and secondary ion mass spectrometry.
