    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Accurate blood lead determination is crucial for public health.
    • Matrix effects in blood samples can complicate lead analysis.
    • Existing methods may require complex sample preparation or background correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simplified, one-tube sample preparation method for blood lead determination.
    • To eliminate the need for background correction in matrix-affected blood samples.
    • To provide a sensitive and reproducible analytical method for blood lead levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Red blood cells are lysed using potassium cyanide and heat.
    • A citrate buffer is added, followed by extraction with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and methyl isobutyl ketone.
    • Lead content is measured using a carbon rod atomizer at 217.0 nm.

    Main Results:

    • The method is relatively simple and does not require background correction.
    • Demonstrated in-run reproducibility of 1.39 µg/100 mL blood standard deviation.
    • Showed between-run reproducibility of 2.27 µg/100 mL blood and a sensitivity of 0.012 µg/mL/1% nm.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed one-tube method is effective for blood lead determination.
    • The method is simple, reproducible, and sensitive, suitable for routine analysis.
    • Elimination of background correction simplifies the procedure and reduces potential errors.
