To control the amount of mercury polluting our environment, mercury has to be monitored in all areas of modern life. This requires fast and easy-to-use methods that permit the determination of mercury at levels of micrograms per liter. Up to now mercury ultratrace determination has required preconce

β¦ Synopsis
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with hydride generation was used for the determination of Se stable isotope tracer enrichment in standard solutions and biological materials. Up to three enriched isotopes, '%e, "Se and %e, were determined, while '%e served as the reference isotope. Tracer enrichment was linearly determined with or without simultaneous additions of two other Se stable isotope tracers. Multiple additions of enriched "Se and enriched ' %e at the low levels required for in vivo tracers were accurately determined in the presence of a much greater addition of enriched '%e (for isotope dilution analysis) in spite of the significant "Se and "Se impurities introduced with the enriched ''Se. Detection limits for Se stable isotope tracers were sufficient to determine up to a ZOO-fold dilution of tracer following an initial tracer enrichment equivalent to 10% of the mass of the natural Se pool.
