Samples for analysis can come from products of vegetable or animal origin (milk, meat), water, air (ashes emitted by an incinerator) or soils in which elements are present over a wide range of concentrations (from manure spreading on agricultural land to industrial sludge). This method also has applications in the area of forensic sciences and clinical medicine (tissue analysis or biological fluids).

Porous silicon possesses a number of favorable properties that make it relevant to the field of regenerative medicine / tissue engineering (i.e. the idea that the human body can heal itself with the assistance of a temporary scaffold). These properties include tunable scaffold dissolution based on Si nanostructure thickness/porosity and surfaee ehemistry in vitro and in vivo compatibility and facile formation of easily processible porous silieon / bioeompatible polymer constructs. In this review, selected formulations of porous Si relevant to seaffold evaluation are described, followed by key tissue engineering milestones for porous silieon, and brief summaries of studies of porous silieon-containing materials with relevance to specific therapies.
