Trace Silicon Determination in Biological Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Insight into the Volatility of Silicon Species in Hydrofluoric Acid Digests for Optimal Sample Preparation and Introduction to ICP-MS

Trace Silicon Determination in Biological Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Insight into the Volatility of Silicon Species in Hydrofluoric Acid Digests for Optimal Sample Preparation and Introduction to ICP-MS

A method for the determination of trace levels of silicon from biological materials by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been developed. The volatility of water-soluble silicon species, hexafluorosilicic acid (H<sub>2</sub>SiF<sub>6</sub>), and sodium...
