title: Trends in speciation analysis of vanadium in environmental samples and biological fluids--a review.
abstract: A comprehensive review is presented addressing recent trends in the speciation and determination of vanadium in environmental and biological sample matrices, including important analytical aspects such as sample clean up, pre-concentration and method development. Methodology based on both separation and spectroscopic techniques for the determination of vanadium speciation is discussed. A brief outline of analytical principles, together with an overview of the recent developments and applications of vanadium speciation determination is included. The newer methods for detecting metal ions including hyphenated spectroscopic techniques and sample preparation schemes are also discussed.
