Atomic-Absorption Spectrometry in the Elemental Analysis of Biological Materials

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Atomic-absorption spectroscopy methods are considered for determining trace elements in biological materials, including whole blood, serum, and urine, and also in ectodermal samples (hair and nails). Unified measurements in these analyses require the certification of the latest methods of performing measurements, reference materials for the compositions of biological substances, and the development of specialized instruments for certain elements.
