Sulfur- and phosphorus-standardized metal quantification of biological specimens using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

This protocol describes how inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can quantify metals, sulfur, and phosphorus present in biological specimens. The high sensitivity of ICP-MS enables detection of these elements at very low concentrations, and absolute quantification is achieved with s...

Sumario:This protocol describes how inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can quantify metals, sulfur, and phosphorus present in biological specimens. The high sensitivity of ICP-MS enables detection of these elements at very low concentrations, and absolute quantification is achieved with standard curves. Sulfur or phosphorus standardization reduces variability that arises because of slight differences in sample composition. This protocol bypasses challenges because of limited sample amounts and facilitates studies examining the biological roles of metals in health and disease. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hartwig et al. (2020).
