Determination of Selenium in Biological Materials by Stable Isotope Dilution Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

摘要

Selenium can be determined quantitatively in biological samples after digestion using nitric acid, orthophosphoric acid, and hydrogen peroxide and the formation of 5-nitropiazselenol. Samples are spiked with enriched 82Se and lsotoplc ratio of 80Se to 82Se is measured by combined gas chromatographymass spectrometry using dual ion monitoring. Precise determination at the parts-per-billion level is possible. The accuracy of the method Is verlfied by using standard reference materials.
