Availability of aluminum from glass and an Al form ion exchanger in the presence of complexing agents and amino acids
D Bohrer, PC do Nascimento, P Martins, R Binotto - Analytica Chimica Acta, 2002 - Elsevier
Aluminum can exist as contaminant in solutions of amino acids used for parenteral nutrition.
It is a problem because these solutions are introduced directly into the circulatory current
and aluminum shows toxic effects for some patients, mainly pre-term infants. Amino acids
can be responsible for the aluminum contamination of parenteral solutions when they are
stored in glass containers. Glass can be a source of aluminum because aluminum is present
in its composition to improve chemical resistance. In this work, glass was compared with an …
