In this study, we intend to optimize the use of equipment based on the X-Ray Fluorescence technology to perform ions dosage in body fluids. This procedure can be an efficient alternative for clinical diagnosis, mainly in underserved regions of Brazil with the deficit of medical care in the hospitals. In addition, this procedure has potential use when the biological material is scarce, case of the pediatric practice in newborns and premature infants (blood collection is the main cause of transfusions) as well as in Hemodialysis units which requires several biochemical tests (before and after dialysis).
