Detailed procedures were developed forth furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) determination of aluminum (Al) in serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and proportionated dialysate. Of particular note were the use of Mg (NO 3 ) 2 .6H 2 O as a matrix modifier and the employment of the standard additions routine in analysis. The accuracy of the method(s) used is supported by work with assayed controls and by recovery studies. The use of a “clean room” was shown to be unnecessary. Normal serum, urine, and CSF Al ranges observed were 4.8–8.9, 5.1–9.1 adn 1.0–5.8μgL −1 respectively. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
