| Abstract: | We have developed a microdialysis sampling technique coupled on-line with simultaneous electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (SIMAAS) for the continuous monitoring of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and selenium (Se) in saline solutions and in cell suspensions. These trace elements are considered to be those associated most significantly with oxidative stress in biological systems. We employed ultrapure saline (0.9% NaCl) as the perfusate and, thus, the dialysate samples contained a high concentration of salt in the matrix. The use of modifiers Pd coupled with Mg(NO3)2] prevented the target elements from undergoing evaporation at a pyrolysis temperature of 1200 °C, a process that effectively eliminated interference from NaCl. The excellent linearity, detection limits, and precision of the SIMAAS technique allowed the Cu, Mn, Ni, and Se concentrations to be determined in saline. For the on-line microdialysis-SIMAAS system, the ultrapure saline was perfused at a flow rate of 1 μL/min. The probe recoveries of Cu, Mn, Ni, and Se in saline were 57.9, 65.0, 65.5, and 67.9%, respectively. A standard saline solution was measured continuously by the on-line system to ensure long-term stability; each measurement fell within a range of two standard deviations. We determined the on-line spiked recoveries of Cu, Mn, Ni, and Se (101.3, 88.8, 91.3, and 98.5%, respectively) by adding a spiking standard into the stirred saline. The spiked recoveries (Cu, 37.5%; Mn, 3.8%; Ni, 71.1%; Se, 33.8%) were also determined through on-line spiking of a standard into the stirred cell suspension; these values demonstrate that Cu, Mn, and Se were depleted in the cell suspension, but Ni was not. The use of this on-line microdialysis-SIMAAS system permitted the in situ, dynamic, and continuous monitoring of Cu, Mn, Ni, and Se in cell suspensions at a temporal resolution of 20 min. |
