Ion chromatographic precision measurement procedure for electrolytes in human serum: validation with the aid of primary measurement procedures

In order to make analytical measurement results traceable to the SI units in the field of clinical chemistry, an ion chromatographic (IC) measurement procedure has been developed which allows the amount of substance of the four so-called electrolytes Na, K, Mg and Ca as well as that of Li to be determined efficiently in human serum and with high accuracy. The IC measurement procedure was validated using primary measurement procedures confirmed by international comparison measurements and is proposed for use as a transfer standard when comparing measurements with clinical reference laboratories. The solutions used for calibration were gravimetrically prepared from pure substances (salts). Their chemical compositions had been iteratively fitted to those of the samples. The serum samples were mineralized by microwave-assisted digestion. The following relative expanded uncertainties for the average elemental contents were obtained: Li 0.4%, Na 0.14%, K 0.6%, Mg 0.8% and Ca 0.4%.     

Use of zwitterionic micelles in the eluent II: a new approach to ion chromatographic analysis of inorganic cations in biological fluids with direct sample injection

A new ion chromatographic (IC) technique has been developed for the determination of inorganic cations in biological fluids with direct sample injection. This involved the use of a mixed zwitterionic-micelle/electrolyte solution as an eluent. The proteins in the sample became bound to the zwitterionic micelles in the eluent and were thus eliminated from the column. The cations were separated by cation exchange. This method is ideal for the online, simultaneous determination of common inorganic cations (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) in urine and serum samples. Such an application was demonstrated experimentally. Non-suppressed conductivity was used for analyte detection. The detection limits obtained using this IC system were 2.94, 5.22, 34.9, 32.6, and 56.7 microg/L for Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, respectively.     

Fast and accurate determination of K, Ca, and Mg in human serum by sector field ICP-MS

Electrolytes in serum are important biomarkers for skeletal and cellular health. The levels of electrolytes are monitored by measuring the Ca, Mg, K, and Na in blood serum. Many reference methods have been developed for the determination of Ca, Mg, and K in clinical measurements; however, isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) has traditionally been the primary reference method serving as an anchor for traceability and accuracy to these secondary reference methods. The sample matrix must be separated before ID-TIMS measurements, which is a slow and tedious process that hindered the adoption of the technique in routine clinical measurements. We have developed a fast and accurate method for the determination of Ca, Mg, and K in serum by taking advantage of the higher mass resolution capability of the modern sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS). Each serum sample was spiked with a mixture containing enriched ⁴⁴Ca, ²⁶Mg, and ⁴¹K, and the ⁴²Ca⁺:⁴⁴Ca⁺, ²⁴Mg⁺:²⁶Mg⁺, and ³⁹K⁺:⁴¹K⁺ ratios were measured. The Ca and Mg ratios were measured in medium resolution mode (m/Δm?≈?4 500), and the K ratio in high resolution mode (m/Δm?≈?10 000). Residual ⁴⁰Ar¹H⁺ interference was still observed but the deleterious effects of the interference were minimized by measuring the sample at K?>?100 ng g^?1. The interferences of Sr⁺⁺ at the two Ca isotopes were less than 0.25 % of the analyte signal, and they were corrected with the ⁸⁸Sr⁺ intensity by using the Sr⁺⁺:Sr⁺ ratio. The sample preparation involved only simple dilutions, and the measurement using this sample preparation approach is known as dilution-and-shoot (DNS). The DNS approach was validated with samples prepared via the traditional acid digestion approach followed by ID-SF-ICP-MS measurement. DNS and digested samples of SRM 956c were measured with ID-SF-ICP-MS for quality assurance, and the results (mean ± expanded uncertainty in mg dL^?1 unit) for Ca (DNS?=?10.14?±?0.13, digested?=?10.11?±?0.10), Mg (DNS?=?2.093?±?0.008, digested?=?2.098?±?0.007), and K (DNS?=?15.48?±?0.11, digested?=?15.50?±?0.28) were in good agreement with the certified values (Ca?=?10.17?±?0.06, Mg?=?2.084?±?0.023, K?=?15.55?±?0.13). Major sources of uncertainty are sample measurement, spike calibration, and instrument factor including mass discrimination of the spectrometer and the detector deadtime.     

Comparative instrumental multi-element analysis I: Comparison of ICP source mass spectrometry with ICP atomic emission spectrometry, ICP atomic fluorescence spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry for the analysis of natural waters from a granite region

Summary Multi-element analysis by ICP source mass spectrometry for practically matrix-free natural waters, coming from a granitic area and, therefore, rich in trace elements, has been compared with ICP-atomic emission, ICP atomic fluorescence and atomic absorption spectrometry. The following elements have been investigated and their concentrations are in the decreasing order: Ca, Si, Na, Mg, K, Al; Sr, Mn, Ba, Fe, Rb, Zn, B, U, Y, Li, La, Be, Cs, Co, Cr, V, Sb, Bi, Th, Cu, Cd, Ni, Se, Pb, As, Hg, Mo, Tl, Sn. The concentration ranges were between 10 ppm and <0.01 ppb.As a measure of agreement between the different methods under investigation, two criteria have been used (a) the relative variation coefficient VK (%) of the mean element concentration of an element, determined by different methods in all the 98 water samples and (b) the linear, logarithmic and Spearman rank correlation coefficients between ICP-MS and each of the other methods. Detection limits are given from literature for about 32 elements using different methods.The elements Ca, Na, Mg, K, Mn, Sr, Zn, Fe, Li, Cu have been determined with ICP-MS, ICP-AES and AAS; Al, Ba with ICP-MS and ICP-AES; Si only with ICP-AES, whereas B, Be, Bi, Co, Cr, Cs, Hg, La, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sn, Th, Tl, U, V, Y only with ICP-MS. In all 34 of the investigated 36 elements could be analysed by ICP-MS, 14 (from about 20 possible) by AAS, 13 by ICP-AES and 12 by ICP-AFS.The agreement between ICP-MS and ICP-AES as well as between ICP-MS and AAS in most cases is remarkably good according to (a). VK (%) for each element in 98 water samples is in the range from ±2.6 to 10% for Na, Mg, Ca, K, Fe, Sr, Ba, Cu, Li (increasing order). Cd and Zn have unexpectedly higher values (±17.3 and ±20.5%); Cd concentrations are, however, near the detection limit.Comparing the different methods on the basis of correlation coefficients according to (b), gives for the Spearman rank correlation coefficient over the whole range of concentrations, respectively for ICP-MS/ICP-AES, AAS, ICP-AFS in case of Ca: 0.998; 0.984; 0.899; Na: 0.993; 0.991; 0.978; Mg: 0.997; 0.993; 0.959; K: 0.986; 0.942; 0.677; Al: 0.987; -; -; Fe: 0.864; 0.974; 0.701; Mn: 0.989; 0.990; 0.198; Sr: 0.988; 0.992; -; Zn: 0.894; 0.819; 0.300; Cu: -; 0.977; 0.202; Li: -; 0.907; 0.586.It is evident from these trace element concentrations as well as the electrical conductivities, that only about three fourths of the investigated samples are typical granitic waters and the remaining ones are associated with different geological background. The samples have been mainly radon waters with more than 18 nCi/l of Rn-222.

Evaluation of microchip capillary electrophoresis with external contactless conductivity detection for the determination of major inorganic ions and lithium in serum and urine samples

The determination of inorganic ions in clinical samples in less than 90 seconds was demonstrated for microchip capillary electrophoresis using capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D). Bare electrophoresis chips were used in combination with external electrodes which were part of the chip holder. In order to achieve the required selectivity and sensitivity, an optimization of the electrode layout was carried out. Limits of detection (LOD) of 1 microM for K(+), 1.5 microM for Ca(2+), 3 microM for Na(+), 1.75 microM for Mg(2+) and 7.5 microM for Li(+) were achieved. The determination of inorganic cations (NH(4)(+), K(+), Na(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+)) and anions (Cl(-), NO(3)(-), SO(4)(2-), phosphate) in blood serum and urine samples was possible in one common electrolyte solution containing 15 mM L-arginine, 10.75 mM maleic acid and 1.5 mM 18-crown-6 at pH 5.90 by simply switching the separation voltage from positive to negative polarity. Lithium, present at significant levels when used for therapeutic purposes, can also be determined in blood serum using a slightly modified background electrolyte solution.     

Determination of Trace Elements in Aerosol Samples Collected on Polycarbonate Filters by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

The multi-element analysis of aerosol samples collected on polycarbonate filters and the wet digestion procedure in open vessel were investigated. The concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg and Zn were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry with a micro injection system while Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and V were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).

NIES N[ddot] 8 “Vehicle Exhaust Particulate” Certified Reference Material from the Japan Environment Agency was used to study the decomposition of the samples. Different treatments were applied in order to completely dissolve the aerosol samples. It was found that, from all the methods tested, attack with micro-quantities of HNO₃ and HCIO₄ in an air pressure digestion system was the best procedure for the determination of the elements by AAS.

The recommended method was appropriate for all elements and it was applied to real samples. Two nondestructive analytical techniques for the determination of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn and Pb have been compared with the proposed method: proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and neutron activation analysis (NAA). Results obtained by the application of these three techniques were similar.     

Proton-induced prompt gamma-ray emission for determination of light elements in human bone

Proton-induced prompt gamma-ray emission (PIGE) analysis has been used for the determination of light elements in human dense bone samples. Li, B, N, O, F, Na, Mg, Al, P and Ca peaks were detected. Smoothed, freeze-dried samples were irradiated in vacuo by 2.4 MeV protons and the induced prompt gamma rays recorded with a 110 cm³ Ge(Li) detector. Absolute concentrations were calculated on the basis of both calibration standards and pure element gamma-ray yields. The mean (±1 S. D.) concentrations as ppm or weight % obtained for 15 dense bone samples were: B 8.0 (3.3)ppm, N 12.2 (0.8)%, O 34.8 (2.3)%, F 639 (417)ppm, Na 5763 (371)ppm, Mg 2078 (290)ppm, P 9.26 (0.50)% and Ca 20.4 (1.3)%. The detection limits obtained without any prior concentration of the bone samples were: 0.3 ppm for Li, 2.0 ppm for B, 1.0% for N, 1.0% for O, 1.0 ppm for F, 3.0 ppm for Na, 50 ppm for Mg, 22 ppm for Al, 600 ppm for P and 0.8% for Ca. Detection limits for other light elements (4≤Z≤21) have also been estimated.

Determination of lithium in wines by ion chromatography

Lithium ion can be added as a denaturing agent to wines unsuitable for consumption. Accuracy of flame atomic emission spectroscopy with direct nebulization, which is commonly adopted for discovering illegal use of denatured wines, was found to be compromised by Na+, K+, NH4+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and ethanol contained in wine. Ion chromatography (IC) was tested in order to propose an alternative method for legal controls. Experimental design was used to investigate the influence on the accuracy of the determination of Li+ at ppb levels, of Na+ and ethanol content of wine and of fluctuations of eluent flow-rate and composition. It turned out that IC quantification of Li+ can be affected by eluent parameters rather than by wine composition. Since the former can be maintained under the operators control, while the latter cannot, IC was judged preferable to AES for legal controls of Li+ in wines.

Flame spectrometric determination of sodium,potassium and calcium in blood serum by measurement of microsamples

Summary The discrete sampling flame atomic emission method described previously by Sarbeck, St. John, and Winefordner¹ has been applied to the determination of K, Na, and Ca in serum controls and in several blood serum samples (10 to 100l of blood serum per element needed). The results compare well with the control values and serum values obtained by clinically accepted methods. The percent relative standard deviation of all measurements was better than 4 %. The present method consists simply of injecting the blood serum sample (in some cases diluted with appropriate chemicals) directly into a suitable carrier solution which transported the serum plug into a H₂/N₂O flame. The resulting integrated emission signal is corrected for a blank emission signal and the amount of K, Na, or Ca in the blood serum sample is read directly on a suitable analytical curve.

Zusammenfassung Die kürzlich von Sarbeck, St. John und Winefordner beschriebene flammenphotometrische Atomaremissionsmethode wurde für die Bestimmung von K, Na und Ca in Kontrollseren und einigen Blutserumproben herangezogen. Pro Element werden 10 bis 100l Serum benötigt. Die Resultate stimmen mit den Kontrollwerten und mit den Ergebnissen anerkannter klinischer Methoden gut überein. Die relative Standardabweichung aller Messungen war besser als 4%. Das Verfahren besteht einfach darin, daß die Serumproben (gegebenenfalls mit geeigneten Reagenzien verdünnt) direkt in eine Trägerflüssigkeit injiziert und so in eine H₂/N₂O-Flamme eingeführt werden. Das integrierte Emissionsignal wird um einen Blindwert korrigiert und die Menge K, Na bzw. Ca in der Serumprobe direkt aus einer Eichkurve abgelesen.

Capillary zone electrophoresis method for the simultaneous determination of cations in honey

A capillary electrophoresis system for the simultaneous determination of cations in honey samples has been developed. The complete separation and quantification of K+, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Li+, which represent more than 99% of the total content of cations in honey, can be achieved in 4 min with only a dilution and filtration of the honey sample. Electrolyte solution was composed by 10 mM imidazole as the carrier buffer and background absorbance provider and acetic acid as the complexing agent (pH 3.60). The running voltage was + 25 kV at 25 degree C. Indirect UV detection was achieved at 185 nm. Under the optimum conditions the detection limits ranged from 0.02 to 48.2 mg/kg and the quantification limits have ranged from 0.41 to 48.7 mg/kg. Precision data in honey samples analysed have shown repeatability and reproducibility RSD (%) lower than 2.84 and 6.62%, respectively. Recoveries of cations in honey samples analysed have ranged from 88.5 to 101.8%. These cations were identified by their relative migration times with regard to Ba2+ migration time used as reference standard and they were quantified by using an external standard calibration. Twenty-five honey samples were analysed to test the proposed method. Mean contents of 1.22 x 10(3), 93, 85, 54, 11, 1.9 and 2.3 mg/kg were found, respectively, for K+, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Li+ cations in analysed honeys. These results were similar than the obtained by other authors.     

Flammenphotometrische Bestimmung kleiner Gehalte an Li, Na, K und Ca in hochreinem Phosphor, Arsen und Antimon nach Abtrennung durch Chlorstromdestillation

Zusammenfassung Zur empfindlichen Bestimmung kleiner Gehalte an Li, Na, K und Ca in hochreinem Phosphor, Arsen und Antimon werden die Matrices mit Chlorgas zu den Chloriden umgesetzt und diese im Vakuum abdestilliert. Der Destillationsrückstand, der die Spuren an Alkalien und Ca praktisch quantitativ enthält, wird in wenig Salzsäure gelöst und mit Aceton so verdünnt, daß eine 90%ig acetonische Lösung erhalten wird. Zur Verbesserung der Reproduzierbarkeit der flammenphotometrischen Bestimmung setzt man der Lösung Strontium als inneren Standard zu; die flammenphotometrischen Bestimmungen werden dann in üblicher Weise mit einer Knallgasflamme vorgenommen. Bei einer Substanzeinwaage von 1 g beträgt die untere Bestimmungsgrenze 0,03 ppm Li und 0,1 ppm Na, K und Ca in Phosphor und Arsen; in Antimon liegen die Grenzen um den Faktor 2 höher. Zur Sicherstellung einer quantitativen Abtrennung wurde die Arbeitsmethode radiochemisch unter Verwendung von ²²Na, ⁴²K und ⁴⁵Ca ausgearbeitet; in jedem Falle wurden mehr als 97% der vorgesehenen Aktivität im Destillationsrückstand wiedergefunden.

Summary A method is described for the sensitive determination of traces of Li, Na, K and Ca in high-purity phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony. The matrix elements are treated with gaseous chlorine and the resulting chlorides are distilled off in vacuo. The residue (containing the traces of the elements wanted) is dissolved in a small amount of hydrochloric acid, diluted with acetone to a 90% acetonic solution and sprayed into the oxyhydrogen flame of a flame photometer; Sr is used as an internal standard. The lower limits of detection are 0.03 ppm of Li and 0.1 ppm of Na, K, Ca in phosphorus and arsenic with a sample size of 1 g; in antimony the detection limits are higher by a factor of 2.In order to assure a quantitative recovery the procedure was checked radiochemically with ²²Na, ⁴²K and ⁴⁵Ca; more than 97 % of the activity given were found in the residue.

Cellular cation transport studied by 6/7Li and 23Na NMR in a porous Mo132 Keplerate type nano-capsule as model system

Li+ ions can interplay with other cations intrinsically present in the intra- and extra-cellular space (i.e. Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) have therapeutic effects (e.g. in the treatment of bipolar disorder) or toxic effects (at higher doses), likely because Li+ interferes with the intra-/extra-cellular concentration gradients of the mentioned physiologically relevant cations. The cellular transmembrane transport can be modelled by molybdenum-oxide-based Keplerates, i.e. nano-sized porous capsules containing 132 Mo centres, monitored through 6/7Li as well as 23Na NMR spectroscopy. The effects on the transport of Li+ cations through the 'ion channels' of these model cells, caused by variations in water amount, temperature, and by the addition of organic cationic 'plugs' and the shift reagent [Dy(PPP)2](7-) are reported. In the investigated solvent systems, water acts as a transport mediator for Li+. Likewise, the counter-transport (Li+/Na+, Li+/K+, Li+/Cs+ and Li+/Ca2+) has been investigated by 7Li NMR and, in the case of Li+/Na+ exchange, by 23Na NMR, and it has been shown that most (in the case of Na+ and K+, all (Ca2+) or almost none (Cs+) of the Li cations is extruded from the internal sites of the artificial cell to the extra-cellular medium, while Na+, K+ and Ca2+ are partially incorporated.     

A novel sample introduction system for microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry

A newly developed micro-sampling technique using a discrete sample introduction system (DSIS) has been demonstrated for simultaneous multi-element analysis by microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES). A microliter volume of sample solution (20 μl) is manually inserted into a Teflon microsampling device and subsequently pumped at low solution uptake rates of <100 μl min⁻¹ to a Meinhard-type concentric nebulizer and then into a 250-W helium plasma. The performance of DSIS-MIP-OES was demonstrated by the determination of major (Na, K, Ca, Mg), minor (Cu, Fe, Zn) and trace (Sr) elements in two clinical standard certified reference materials (serum, hair). Standard microaddition procedures were used to minimize possible matrix interference. The detection limit (3σ) obtained was 10, 30, 50, 100, 10, 5, 20 and 40 ng ml⁻¹ for Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Sr and Zn, respectively. The method offers relatively good precision (RSD ranged from 5 to 14%) and microsampling capability. Agreement between analytical results and certified values for the test elements was good. The method could be useful as a routine clinical laboratory procedure.

Determination of ammonia, creatinine and inorganic cations in urine using CE with contactless conductivity detection

CE with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) was used to determine waste products of the nitrogen metabolism (ammonia and creatinine) and of biogenic inorganic cations in samples of human urine. The CE separation was performed in two BGEs, consisting of 2 M acetic acid + 1.5 mM crown ether 18-crown-6 (BGE I) and 2 M acetic acid + 2% w/v PEG (BGE II). Only BGE II permitted complete separation of all the analytes in a model sample and in real urine samples. The LOD values for the optimized procedure ranged from 0.8 microM for Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) to 2.9 microM for NH(4)(+) (in terms of mass concentration units, from 7 microg/L for Li(+) to 102 microg/L for creatinine). These values are adequate for determination of NH(4)(+), creatinine, Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) in real urine samples.
