Atomic Spectrometry Update. Clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

摘要: This update is a little shorter than in recent years, reflecting the fewer original papers published. However, trend for large number of review articles has continued and these cover wide range important topics. In 2012 update, noticeable increase work involving very small samples was evident. These observations continue through into current review. particularly seen with sample introduction systems used ICP-MS. A microflow device aerosol generation, based on thermal inkjet technology, provided analysis highly dissolved solids at flow rate 1 μL min−1 while other high performance arrangements were described which operated slightly larger delivery rates. As previous major topics include investigations metabolism Se. We have also previously reported techniques to measure Pt–DNA adducts, developed last few years. It encouraging see that are now being applied studies platinum anti-cancer treatments cell cultures patients. There some interesting new methodologies. Quantum dots appeared first time this an indirect assay measuring low concentrations protein urine. conjugate formed CdTe quantum isolated Cd measured by XRF poor sensitivity atomic elements but another assay, Li mineral water determined forming potassium lithium periodatoferrate complex Fe. Magnetic particles immunoassays effect separation reagents similar approach using Fe3O4 magnetite nanoparticles modified 1-(p-acetyl)phenyl)-3-(o-ethoxyphenyl)triazene extract preconcentrate Hg from fish samples. Concern over amount rice potential element appear food products evident oils organic brown syrup. Anyone tempted eat alligator meat can be reassured Cd, Pb low. pleased contributor review; Sarah Hill considerable experience ICP-MS including use technique imaging.
