title: [Analysis of inorganic elements in serum: state-of-the-art].
abstract: The author proposes to classify gross and trace elements by the level of their investigations in physiology and biochemistry. By using the facts, he discusses whether X-ray fluorescence and spectral analyses with inductively-bound plasma may be to develop an adequate procedure that can determine the serum content of the maximum possible number of chemical elements during one analytical procedure.
