The effect of various chemical modifiers, including nitrates of palladium, nickel, magnesium, calcium, lanthanum, europium and aluminium, on the analytical signal of various selenium species (selenate, selenite, selenomethionine, trimethylselenonium iodide) in GFAAS is reported. A generalized strategy in chemical modification processes taking place in graphite furnace atomizers is recommended, especially for the analysis of biological fluids. Useful chemical modification involves the application of a considerable excess of some metal nitrates producing thermally stable oxides and no refractory carbides. At the same time, this modification should be capable of quantitative conversion of the analyte (isoformation) into a single form of selenium precursor that is quantitatively trapped by the modifier.
