General analytical procedures for determination of trace elements in clinical samples (serum, urine, milk, organs and bone) by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and ICP mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are described. Minerals and major trace elements can be simultaneously determined only after 10-20 fold dilution, which is preceded by acid digestion in the case of solid sample, by ICP-AES. Elements of lower concentration range can be determined by ICP-MS but there are some analytical limitations. Reference values in these samples from Japanese, determined by ICP-AES, are also presented. Use of ICP-AES and ICP-MS for chemical speciation analysis is referred.

D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
