| Popis: | Two different samples of serum were prepared from a blood specimen by using two types of serum-separation tubes. Each serum sample was diluted by 100 times with deionized and sub-boiling distilled water. Thirty-six elements in the serum and exudate, from devices used for the serum preparation, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). From the comparison of elemental concentrations in two groups of 11 serum samples, it was found that the exudate from serum-separation tubes, as well as from disposable stainless steel needles, had serious effects on the elemental concentrations in the serum. Means for the concentrations of Li, Co, Ga, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, La, and Ce in the two serum groups were statistically different from each other. The concentrations of Cr, Mn, Fe, and Mo in both groups were apparently higher than those reported in the literature, suggesting contamination from the disposable stainless steel needle and spectral interferences due to molecular species produced in the argon plasma. |
