The application of non-suppressed ion chromatography to clinical and pharmaceutical analysis

Ion chromatography is a relatively new technique for rapid, sensitive, multianion analysis which has many advantages over alternative techniques such as wet chemical methods, spectrophotometry or the use of ion-selective electrodes. Since it was first described by Small et all in 1975, ion chromatography has deservedly received a great deal of attention and is now routinely used in the analysis of environmental, water, food and industrial samples. However, applications on biological samples have been relatively few.
