Preparing Biological Samples for Elemental Analysis by ICP-MS
For biological samples — including urine, whole blood, plasma, and serum — the question often asked is: What is the best way to prepare these samples for analysis by ICP-MS?
Multi-element Analysis of Biological Materials by ICP-MS using Alkali Dilution
ICP-MS is today the instrument of choice when it comes to elemental analysis of biological materials. Its fast, multi-element capability and wide dynamic range are key benefits that allow the measurement of major, minor, essential, and toxic elements, covering the concentration range from sub parts-per-trillion (ppt) to percent levels in a single analysis. This places greater pressure on the sample preparation procedure…
Analysis of Low Level Beryllium in Urine Using the PlasmaQuant® MS
The human health effects of beryllium from low environmental exposures are relatively unknown, although higher exposures particularly through inhalation can lead to several adverse medical conditions. Inhalation of beryllium dust or fumes can lead to an incurable inflammation of the lungs called Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) or berylliosis...
Determination of As Species in Urine Samples Using the PlasmaQuant® MS Elite
The monitoring of arsenic species in urine can greatly assist with risk-based toxicity assessments where total arsenic determinations are often unsuitable...
Iron Isotope Ratios in Human Whole Blood by PlasmaQuant® MS
ICP-MS is now a well-established technique for use in human studies because it can determine both the total elemental content and isotopic ratios with sufficient precision and accuracy in a single analytical run. Stable Fe isotope ratio determinations by ICP-MS in blood have attracted much interest in recent years…
