Quantitative analysis of 28 trace elements in human plasma and serum by triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for clinical research
10 Nov 2023Analyzing trace elements in biological samples is crucial for clinical research, offering insights into cellular functions. Essential elements like zinc, copper, selenium, and others play vital roles in biochemical reactions. Increased exposure to toxic heavy metals poses health risks. This study reports an analytical method for quantifying 28 trace elements in human plasma and serum, utilizing the ClinMass Complete Kit and Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ TQ ICP-MS.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.
