Abstract
There is substantial evidence of the complexity of selenium speciation in living organisms
and of the importance of the selective determination of the particular species of this element
in order to understand its metabolism and biological significance in clinical chemistry, biology,
toxicology, and nutrition. The state-of-the-art of analytical techniques available for this
purpose is critically evaluated with particular emphasis on the element-selective detection
and identification of the detected selenium compounds. Whereas there are a number of techniques
available, which can detect various selenium species in living organisms selectively,
few techniques exist that are able to identify and to characterize the species detected.
