Inorganic germanium in aqueous solution is determined by a combination of isotope dilution, hydride generation, and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometxy (ID-HG-ICP-MS). Samples (5-20ml) are spiked with an enriched stable isotope ("Ge). Germanic acid is reduced by sodium borohydride to german

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. Trace
The use of isotope dilution analysis (IDA) with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the determination of oxidized metallothionein (MT) by a Cd-saturation method is investigated. The method developed here is a modification of an earlier methodology which used a radioactive Cd is
