Determination of selenium in tissues, serum, and blood of wild rodents by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Selenium (Se) levels were determined in liver, kidney, blood, and serum of wild rodents using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A simple wet digestion technique was used to prepare samples for analysis. Nickel nitrate was used to suppress volatilization of Se during the char stage. Compared to existing techniques this greatly reduces the effort and time required for sample preparation and allows use of the graphite furnace atomic absorption technique for Se determination.
