Description

The developments Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence techniques is make the method appropriate for sample, accurate and precise analysis of heavy element in organic fluid and tissue in health related and pollutions problems, Application include analysis as an advantageous aid in drug synthesis and characterization, trace elements determination in amniotic fluid in fetus malformation studies, analysis of brain specimens and cerebrospinal fluid in central nervous system disorders, the influence of trace elements in cataract genesis and blood, body fluids and tissue drug level- monitoring. Accuracy, precision and detection limits attained in the analysis of platinum in minute amounts of serum from oncological pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy which Pt-containing drugs shows Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence could be used for routine analysis as an aid in clinical practice
