环境和生物体中硒的含量极低,化学种态(Chemical species)非常复杂,使其种态分析十分困难。如何选择性测定元素硒的特定种态,从而更好地理解它在体内的代谢以及在生理学、毒理学、营养学、临床化学等方面的重要意义是非常具有挑战性的工作,这些都依赖于现代分析技术的发展。文章重点评述了现代联用技术的现状和发展趋势,尤其是适用于元素物种选择性测定的分离方法和检测硒化合物的鉴定方法。
In the environment and living organisms, limited concentrations and complexity of selenium compounds constitute challenges to the analytical techniques. Since their biological activities are dependent on their chemical states and structure, the key issue lies in the .selective determination of the particular species of selenium, which is beneficial to clearly understanding its biochemical roles in metabolism, physiology, toxicology, nutrition, and clinical chemistry. For these purposes, the advanced analytical techniques are greatly indispensable. In the present paper, the current status and development trends in the speciation analysis of selenium by hyphenated techniques is selectively reviewed with the emphasis on the coupling of electrophoretic or chromatographic separation with atomic spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, which render element-selective detection and identification of selenium compounds.
