Determination of Trace Elements in Clinical Research Samples by High Resolution (HR) ICP-MS

This application note demonstrates the suitability of high resolution (HR) ICP-MS as an aid to clinical research by developing a fast, sensitive, and reliable HR-ICP-MS method for the analysis of multiple trace elements in a range of clinical matrices, i.e., blood, serum and urine. The calibration used should be valid for all matrices, and sample preparation be confined to a simple dilution step.
