  • Title: Determination of cadmium in whole blood and urine by Zeeman atomic absorption spectroscopy.
    Author: Pleban PA, Pearson KH.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1979 Dec 17; 99(3):267-77. PubMed ID: 229994.
    Abstract:
    Direct determination of cadmium in whole blood and urine can be achieved using Zeeman effect flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. Within-run precision studies for whole blood cadmium determinations gave relative standard deviations of 11.3% and 6.3% for 0.53 micrograms/l and 3.16 micrograms/l, respectively. Within-run precision studies for the urine analyses yielded relative standard deviations of 11.3% and 5.2% for 0.62 micrograms/l and 2.48 micrograms/l, respectively. The detection limit is 0.12 micrograms/l in the diluted specimens. Thus, this methodology may be used to quantitate normal and toxic cadmium levels in whole blood and urine.
