Physiological level of trace lithium in human serum was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). 3.5% HNO3 (v/v) was employed as a protein precipitant for sample treatment and at the same time verified as a very effective chemical modifier to eliminate the interference of chloride. The analytical conditions for lithium determination in serum were investigated and the optimal pyrolysis and atomization temperatures were 800 degrees C and 2700 degrees C. The accuracy and precision of the method were tested by determining lithium in a RANDOX HN1530 assayed human multi-sera and a pooled human serum. The result was in good agreement with the target value and CV of the pooled human serum was 4.74% (n=10). The characteristic mass, the limit of detection (LOD) of the proposed method were 0.8 pg and 0.01 micromol/L, respectively. Median+/-S.E.M. of serum lithium in 220 Chinese people was 0.25+/-0.02 micromol/L.
采用石墨炉原子吸收光谱法(GFAAS)测定人血清中痕量锂的生理水平。3.5% HNO3(v/v)用作样品处理的蛋白质沉淀剂,同时被验证为一种非常有效的化学修饰剂,可消除氯离子的干扰。对血清中锂的分析条件进行了研究,最佳的热解和原子化温度分别为 800°C 和 2700°C。通过测定 RANDOX HN1530 分析的人多血清和混合人血清中的锂来检验方法的准确性和精密度。结果与混合人血清的目标值吻合良好,混合人血清的 CV 为 4.74%(n=10)。该方法的特征质量、检出限(LOD)分别为 0.8 pg 和 0.01 μmol/L。220 名中国人血清中锂的中位数±SEM 为 0.25±0.02 μmol/L。
