Determination of selenium metabolites in biological fluids using instrumental and molecular neutron activation analysis
Optimized procedures have been developed for the determination of total selenium, trimethylselenonium (TMSe) ion, and selenite (SeO/sub 3//sup 2/minus//) ion in urine and serum and for total selenoamino acids in urine by anion exchange chromatography and molecular neutron activation analysis. For urine samples containing greater than 40 ng of Se/mL, determination for TMSe and SeO/sub 3//sup 2/minus// ion can be performed. For urine samples containing nondetectable SeO/sub 3//sup 2/minus// ion whose concentration differential between the total selenium and TMSe is greater than or equal to 40 ng of Se/mL, total selenoamino acids can be determined by derivatization and anion exchange chromatography. For urine samples whose differential between total selenium and TMSe + SeO/sub 3//sup 2 -/ is greater than 80 ng of Se/mL, a precipitation/coprecipitation technique employing Ba(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ and (NH/sub 4/)/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ must be performed prior to the subsequent steps. The procedures were evaluated for over 100 specimens from normal and diseased subjects.
