Abstract: | A method based on dialysis in the presence of histidine, and subsequent copper adsorption and preconcentration using Chelex-100 resin, has been developed for selective extraction of exchangeable copper from blood plasma. The method was verified by comparative analysis using two different instrumental techniques, ICP–MS and AAS. The results obtained were in excellent agreement. Accurate quantification of the exchangeable copper and the firmly bound copper was achieved. The method was further validated by analysis of a lyophilised human serum certified reference material. |
