Determination of Major Electrolytes, Minor Minerals, and Trace Heavy Metals in Physiological Fluids by Flame and Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Accurate measurements of specific metals in various biological systems is extremely important. These metals can be classified into several groups: the high level major electrolytes (Na, K, Ca, Mg), which are crucial to normal primary physiological processes like cellular activity and metabolism; the minor minerals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, Cu), which are present in lower levels to act as metabolic agents and enzyme catalysts; and the trace heavy metals, or toxics, that should not be present in a healthy organism (Ag, Al, As, Se, Pb, Cr, Cd, Hg, Ni, TI, Sr, Ba and V). These last elements are either known to be detrimental to the body, or have a currently unknown activity that is purported to be harmful.
