Abstract:
The determination of trace and ultratrace elements in human serum by ICP-MS is described. The accuracy of the method is tested using a "second generation" human serum reference material. Elements determined include Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Mo, and Cs. The method is compared to nuclear analytical methods (NAA, PIXE). Perspectives for the future are also discussed.
