[Determination of aluminium in blood-serum by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-spectroscopy (author's transl)].

The application of ICP emission spectroscopy for the direct determination of aluminium in blood serum was investigated and the method with all important parameters is described. The well known matrix interferences in atomic absorption spectroscopy do not exist in ICP spectroscopy, due to the very high excitation temperature of the sample of about 8000 K. It is therefore possible to perform very sensitive and reproducible measurements.
