Modern trends in the speciation of selenium by hyphenated techniques

摘要

The complexity of selenium speciation in the environment and in living organisms results in broad analytical challenges.The importance of the selective determination of the particular species of this element, to understand its metabolism and biological significance in clinical chemistry, biology, toxicology, and nutrition, calls for state-of-the-art analytical techniques. In this paper hyphenated techniques are evaluated with particular emphasis on interfaced separationwith element-selective detection and identification of the selenium compounds detected.
