Abstract:Hyphenated analytical techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) and HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS, are powerful tools for evaluating the elemental (HPLC-ICP-MS) and molecular (ESI-MS) speciation of metalloids, such as selenium (Se) and arsenic (As). Because the toxicity of metalloids is highly dependent upon the chemical forms that are present in vivo, toxicological assessment must include both the intact compound and its metab… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
