PlasmaQuant MS: The system for the robust and sensitive characterization of high-matrix samples in environmental applications such as the analysis of seawater, soils and sludges and industrial applications such as waste incineration or the analysis of high-matrix samples in the metals and mining industry.
PlasmaQuant MS Q: The PlasmaQuant MS Q is the efficient, high-throughput analysis solution for quality control and environmental monitoring labs. Improve your analysis workflow for all kinds of routine applications e.g. analysis with moderate matrix concentration such as drinking or surface water, Cr species identification in consumer goods, analysis of digested food and agricultural samples (in combination with HPLC ideal for arsenic species separation) and many more.
Various upgrade options and accessories enable you to customize the ICP-MS systems of the PlasmaQuant MS series even further to certain applications.
Determining trace elements in blood serum and plasma
The determination of trace elements in human samples is a crucial method in medical diagnostics, commonly analyzing whole blood, serum, plasma, and urine for various elements. Essential trace elements like copper, zinc, selenium, and iodine serve as biomarkers for diagnosing diseases, while toxic elements such as lead, chromium, cadmium, nickel, and mercury are monitored for occupational exposure. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is preferred for its multi-element capability, high sensitivity, and efficiency. According to EU regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR), medical laboratories must use certified kits for these analyses, with in-house developed tests permitted only when no certified kit is available. AnalytikJena discusses using a CE and IVDR-ready kit for trace element analysis in serum and plasma by ICP-MS/MS with the PlasmaQuant MS ICP-MS, demonstrating its effectiveness in accurately determining low elemental concentrations with minimal sample preparation.
