Abstract
Abstract
A microsampling cup procedure is described for rapid, precise determination of copper in plasma. Conventional Delves-cup atomic absorption spectrometry does not yield usable copper signals with blood plasma samples. Analytical sensitivity was improved 11-fold by use of cups fitted with an axial hole, a triangular cup-holding loop, and a smaller-bore absorption tube. The modified procedure yields relative standard deviations of 4-6% at the level of 95 µg of copper per deciliter. Analysis of 100 samples of blood plasma by both the microsampling cup procedure and a solvent-extraction atomic absorption procedure showed no significant difference between the two sets of data (P <.02).
