Quantitative bioimaging of platinum in polymer embedded mouse organs using laser ablation ICP-MS.
A novel quantification approach for tissue imaging using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) based on tissue embedding in cold-curing resins (Technovit 7100) is presented. With respect to massive side effects on cisplatin, the platinum distribution at different time intervals after cisplatin treatment of mice was determined quantitatively in different tissues including cochlea, testis and kidney. For this purpose, cold-curing resin blocks spiked with different amounts of platinum acetyl acetonate prior to curing were ablated after sectioning at 5 μm thickness and were analysed using ICP-MS after microwave digestion. High spatial resolution and limits of detection in the low ppb range (8 μg kg(-1)) were achieved using a simple and efficient sample preparation. External calibration using the Technovit 7100 standards proved to yield precise and reproducible quantification results. The distribution and retention behaviour of cisplatin in the organs was investigated using the new calibration method.
