Based on results concerning detection limit, linearity and sensitivity, only the fluorimetric and hydride generation with atomic absorption spectrometric detection methods were suitable for the determination of selenium in biological materials. Whereas, the spectrophotometric, flame absorption spectrometric flow injection-atomic absorption spectrometric and hydride generation with molecular emission cavity detection, due to its worse detection limits and poorer sensitivities, were found to be unsuitable for the determination of selenium in such matrices. The accuracy of the fluorimetric and hydride generation with atomic absorption spectrometric detection methods were tested by using NBS standard reference materials.enAtomic absorption spectroscopyHydrideDetection limitSeleniumChemistryAnalytical Chemistry (journal)Absorption (acoustics)Atomic emission spectroscopyFlow injection analysisChromatographyarticle
