Abstract
Fundamental aspects of electrolytic hydride generation (EC-HG) and the appl ication of EC-HG as a sample introduction system in atomic spectrometry are presented. One of the aims of this review is to help the analyst to select the most suitable electrolytic hydride generator and diverse operating par ameters, and especially the choice of the cathode material, in relation to the requirements of the analytical problem. The application of EC-HG in spe ciation analysis of hydride-forming elements is one of the topics of this r eview. Additionally, the use of EC-HG is critically evaluated as an alterna tive to wet chemical hydride generation.
