Abstract:
Objective:To establish a candidate reference method for simultaneous determination of whole blood iron and copper based on ICP-MS technology.Methods:Cobalt (Co) was chosen as the internal standard, and was added gravimetrically into the standard solution and the whole blood sample. The whole blood sample was digested by electric heating plate and diluted. The isotopic ratios of 57Fe/ 59Co and 63Cu/ 59Co were measured by ICP-MS in the isotopic analysis mode. The precision, standard recovery and accuracy of the method were verified by measuring EQA materials and certified standard materials, and the performance of the method was further evaluated by method comparison. Results:The detection limit of iron is 0.136 mg/kg and the limit of quantification was 0.454 mg/kg in this method. The detection limit of copper in whole blood was 0.008 mg/kg and the limit of quantification was 0.027 mg/kg. The standard curve of copper ranges from 0.83-3.33 mg/kg, iron ranges from 167-667 mg/kg. The calibration curve of iron and copper was good linearity ( R 2>0.999 90). The precision of the method did well. The total CV range was 0.42%-0.68% for iron and 0.14%-0.94% for copper. The spike recoveries were all around 100%, the range of iron: 99.69%-100.07%; copper: 99.26%-100.51%. The correlation between this method and the existing clinical mass spectrometry methods was good. Conclusions:A candidate reference ICP-MS method for simultaneous determination of whole blood Fe and Cu was established. This is a simple and rapid method with good precision and spike recovery compared to the traditional one.
