Summary

A new method rapidly isolates and quantifies strontium-89 (89Sr) and strontium-90 (90Sr) in urine. This technique allows for same-day measurement of both radioactive isotopes, improving radiostrontium analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Radiochemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of radioactive isotopes like strontium-89 (89Sr) and strontium-90 (90Sr) is crucial for health and environmental monitoring.
  • Existing methods for radiostrontium analysis in urine can be time-consuming, delaying critical results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid and efficient method for the isolation and quantitation of 89Sr and 90Sr in human urine samples.
  • To enable same-day measurement of both 89Sr and 90Sr, reducing turnaround time for analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Radiostrontium coprecipitation with calcium phosphate from bulk urine samples.
  • Wet ashing of the precipitate followed by extraction chromatography using a crown ether-supported column.
  • Elution of strontium and subsequent liquid scintillation counting with a novel scheme for simultaneous 89Sr and 90Sr quantitation.
