Abstract
Background: Clinical dosage of toxic and essential elements in blood is well established and the collection method is still by venipuncture. This method has drawbacks and is not suited for everyone. Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) has been shown to have advantages over venipuncture. Materials & methods: Using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry, a method for quantifying elements in whole blood sampled on VAMS was developed/validated. Method's performance was assessed by comparison with whole blood results. Results: Validation and performance assessment tests tend to show that most of the targeted elements provides accurate and reproducible results comparing to a method of reference. Conclusion: Overall, VAMS presents good preliminary results to eventually become an alternative to venipuncture for blood sampling for some trace elements analysis purposes.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
