Applications:

IDA is one the most widely used analytical technique for trace element analysis in a wide variety of complex matrices of geological, biological, environmental, archaeological, and others. IDA procedure has been used for the determination of compounds that are of interest in organic and biochemistry and inorganic industrial samples. Methods have been developed for the determination of diverse substances such as vitamins, insulin, sucrose, penicillin, amino acids, thyroxin, etc. Also the IDA has been widely used for the determination of inorganic elements in biological systems such as for the study of interaction of inorganic elements in organisms, role of elements in disease and regulation of elements by the body. It has been employed for several quantitative analytical problems that are otherwise difficult to handle by other analytical methods.
