Elimination of Chemical and Spectral Interferences in Measurement of Trace Elements in Urine and Blood by Combined Electrodeposition-Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
author
Abstract:
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 initial electrodeposition step, the graphite furnace is coated by Pd. Analytes are then electrodeposited in situ from the sample at optimized applied voltage and time onto the Pd-coated furnace, followed by removal of spent electrolyte and atomization. The high background signals due to matrix components of urine and blood were eliminated by the technique and the sensitivity of determination was improved up to five-fold with respect to conventional ETAAS technique. A good precision of 1-3 %RSD (depending on the element and sample matrix) has been obtained. The recovery of added analytes is close to 100% based on comparison with conventional ETAAS of aqueous samples. The accuracy of the technique was established by analyzing the urine standard reference material, SRM2670. The results of determinations of the elements tested are within the range of certified values given by the NIST with an acceptable %RSD.

Direct measurement of lead and cadmium in blood and urine by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with deuterium background correction (D2-AAS) is prone to severe matrix and spectral interferences. We overcame these effects by coating the L'vov platform with ammonium molybdate, reducing the atomization time, introducing a post-atomization cooling step, carefully selecting ashing and at...

Determination of manganese in urine and whole blood samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry: comparison of chemical modifiers.
In this work, methodologies to determine manganese (Mn) in urine and whole blood by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry were developed. The use of Ru, Rh, and Zr as permanent modifiers, Pd as a modifier in solution, and the condition without modifier were investigated for the direct determination of Mn in urine and whole blood samples. The best results for Mn in urine and in whole blo...

Elimination of matrix effects in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometric determinations of bismuth in serum and urine.
A sensitive and precise electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for determining bismuth concentration is described. Protein precipitation and the use of a palladium modifier reduce the problems of foaming and permit the use of a higher ashing temperature. The detection limit of the assay is 0.9 nmol/L. Total CVs (intra- and interassay) for serum ranged from 3.5% to 15.1% and ...
