The analytical method for calcium species in human blood was studied using ultrasonic-assisted dialysis coupled with capillary electrophoreisi (CE) inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The optimal ultrasonic dialysis conditions were 72 W power, 60 min extraction time and 70 μL volume of blood sample. Ultrasonic-assisted dialysis improves significantly the dialysis efficiecy by comparing with balance dialysis. The optimized conditions of separation and detection (a 120 cm length×100 μm i.d. fused-silica capillary, 20 kV separation voltage, 30 mmol/L Tris-HCl with pH7.4 buffer solution) for calcium species were achieved by CE-ICP-OES. The forms of calcium in the dialysate of human blood have five different species. The concentration of free Ca2+ in the dialysate was 0.7 mg/L. The hyphenated technique is simple and convenience, which is fit for the separation and analysis of metal-containing biological samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
