Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

Abstract

This review discusses developments in elemental mass spectrometry, atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence, XRF and LIBS, as applied to the analysis of specimens of clinical interest, foods and beverages. Sample preparation procedures and quality assurance are also included.

Teaching Procedural Skills in Atomic Absorption and Atomic Emission Spectrometry Using a Simulator Designed with Excel Spreadsheets to Upper-Division Undergraduate Students

“…In particular, atomic absorption (AAS) and atomic emission spectrometry (AES) are considered fast and straightforward techniques for elemental analysis. 16 In AAS, the applications depend on the atomization type used. Typically, flame or electrothermal are applied.…”

“…Spectroscopic techniques represent a group of essential topics in Instrumental Analytical Chemistry due to the instrumental simplicity and wide range of applications in different analysis fields. In particular, atomic absorption (AAS) and atomic emission spectrometry (AES) are considered fast and straightforward techniques for elemental analysis . In AAS, the applications depend on the atomization type used.…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…It should be read in conjunction with the previous review 1 and the other related reviews in the series. [2][3][4][5][6] A critical approach to the selection of material has been adopted, with only novel developments in instrumentation, techniques and methodology being included.…”

A vision on the ‘foodture’ role of dietary exposure sciences in the interplay between food safety and nutrition

“…While the possibilities for this have substantially improved in the past decade, due to more efficient sample preparation approaches and availability of more sensitive and selective instrumentation (LC-MS/MS, e.g., (Hird et al, 2014), GC-MS/MS, e.g., (Kalachova et al, 2013), ICP-MS, e.g. (Patriarca et al, 2021)), the implementation and application in monitoring laboratories is still lagging behind (Lehotay & Chen, 2018). In the area of trace elements, the capability to distinguish species with markedly different biological and toxicological properties (e.g., by LC-ICP-MS (Lorenc et al, 2020)) is still largely limited to expert laboratories whereas in these cases speciation analysis is key for both risk assessment and risk management.…”
