title: [A comparison of Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd and Pb concentration in serum determined by ICP-AES using different sample preparation procedures].
abstract: Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd and Pb concentrations in serum of 21 arteriosclerosis (AS) and 18 healthy control (CK) were determined by ICP-AES, and sample solution was prepared using acid digestion (Dig.) and acid dilution (Dil.) procedure. Serum total Fe, Zn and Cr were significantly higher using Dig. than that using Dil. Serum Cu and Pb were of no significant differences using the both procedures. Serum Cd was significantly lower using Dig. than that using Dil. The results of Fe, Cu, Zn and Cr were positively correlated between Dig. and Dil., but those of Pb and Cd were of no significant correlation. Six elements concentrations in serum determined were significantly different between AS and CK using Dig. The digestion procedure was recommended for serum trace elements analysis using ICP-AES.
