Abstract:
Objective To establish a candidate reference method for the determination of serum lithium based on ion chromatog-raphy and evaluate its analytical performance.Methods A simple sample treatment procedure,which can be remove the proteins and/or organics in human serum,has been developed for the determination of serum lithium.Method precision was evaluated with different concentration of fresh human serum and EQA sample RELA-A/B.Method accuracy was investigated with the recovery ex-periments in fresh human serum and RELA-A/B sample.Results The linear equation was Y =0.817 1X -0.001 3 with a correla-tion coefficient of 0.999 95 under the optimum experimental conditions,the detection limit (3S/N)for lithium was 6 μg/L and the imprecision was less than 1.0%.The results of the recovery experiments indicated that the recoveries were reasonable for the deter-mination of serum lithium,in a range of 99%-101%.Conclusion The candidate reference method of lithium was successfully es-tablished and which can be used for traceability and standardization.It may provide an effective way for routine testing of lithium traceable to the reference method/reference material.
