Quantification of vanadium in serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

چکیده
We describe an ultrasensitive and reliable method for determining vanadium in human serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. After lyophilization, the serum is digested in acid at high pressure, and the digests are evaporated to a small volume. Vanadium in the digests is complexed with cupferron, extracted, and dried. The residue is redissolved in formic acid, where it is 15-fold more concentrated than in the original serum sample. To enhance the furnace sensitivity, we injected six 40-microL aliquots (total, 240 microL) of the concentrated extract. The median concentration of vanadium in 108 persons was 50 ng/L, in good agreement with previously reported results by neutron activation analysis. The characteristic mass obtained (the mass required to give a signal of 0.0044A. s) was 28 pg, the limit of detection 11 ng/L, the limit of quantification 17 ng/L, and the total imprecision (CV) 5.5% at 1.54 micrograms/L. In two assays of Standard Reference Material 1577a (certified vanadium content 99 +/- 8 ng/g), we obtained values of 94.1 and 97 ng/g.

Improved determination of vanadium in biological fluids by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.
We made sensitive and accurate electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric measurements of vanadium in small volumes of serum. The wet-digested sample was extracted into an organic solvent, with N-benzoyl-N-(o-tolyl)hydroxylamine (BTA) as the chelating reagent. After evaporating the solvent, we dissolved the residue in acetic acid, and injected a 60-microL aliquot into a graphite furnace. In...

This work describes an analytical procedure for vanadium determination in human hair slurries by electrothermal AAS using longitudinal heating (LHGA) and transversal heating (THGA) graphite furnace atomizers. The samples were powdered using cryogenic grinding and the hair slurries containing 0.2% (m/v) were prepared in three different media for determination of vanadium: 0.14molL(-1) HNO(3), 0....

A combined electrodeposition-ETAAS technique has been applied to the analysis of Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr and Mn in biological samples in order to overcome interferences and to minimize sample pretreatment. It requires minimal sample preparation with the electrolysis process aiding partial decomposition of the organic matrix, adequate for the release and deposition of trace elements. In an initia...
