title: Determination of the titanium content of human transferrin by inductively-coupled plasma-atomic-emission spectroscopy.
abstract: We report a simple method that combines dialysis, as a purification method, with the multielement capability of ICP to determine the titanium-to-transferrin mole ratio at physiological pH, under buffer conditions. The method, by means of which titanium and transferrin are determined simultaneously, enabled us to assess the binding capacities of different titanocene complexes.
