title: Application of flow injection analysis in trace element determination of body fluids.
abstract: The principle of flow injections analysis (FIA) is briefly described, along with some of its advantages for analytical measurements. A review of the development, current status and application of FIA coupled with optical or electrochemical techniques for the determination of various elements in body fluids is presented. Further, the analytical potential of FIA for the determination of elements in biological materials is then summarized and trends in the methodology are given brief consideration.
