Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Accurate fluoride determination is crucial for biological and food samples.
  • Existing methods for fluoride analysis can be time-consuming or require complex sample preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple, rapid, and quantitative method for fluoride determination in biological materials.
  • To enable precise fluoride analysis in diverse sample matrices like blood and food.

Main Methods:

  • A microdiffusion technique was employed using a plastic diffusion cell.
  • Samples were treated with calcium phosphate, dried, and digested with perchloric acid (HClO4) and silver perchlorate (AgClO4).
  • Released fluoride was captured on sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and analyzed with an ion-selective electrode.
