Abstract

Several different analytical systems are available for biomedical elemental analysis related to human nutrition. The principle, detection limits, analytical artifacts, and applications are presented for the following analytical systems for elemental analysis classified by sample volume: macro volume systems--flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP); micro volume systems--electrothermal atomization (graphite furnace) atomic absorption spectroscopy (ETA-AAS) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF); and ultramicro volume systems--electron probe x-ray microanalysis (EPX) and laser microprobe mass analysis (LAMMA).
