Abstract

The mapping of elemental composition using INAA on the base of whole blood and hair of inhabitants (2500 samples) was made in Uzbekistan (CIS). The average concentrations of 15 elements (24 for hair) were determined. The results obtained were compared to regional medical statistics. The correlations for various diseases were obtained. The maps of human blood composition in comparison to those for human hair composition seem to be less significant in terms of regional contamination (probably because of stronger homeostatic control of blood). On the other hand, specific changes of blood composition were detected for some occupational groups. Relationships of blood and hair elemental composition and their relative significance are discussed.

Capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced native fluorescence detection for profiling body fluids.

Laser-induced native fluorescence detection with a KrF excimer laser (lambda=248 nm) was used to investigate the capillary electrophoretic (CE) profiles of human urine, saliva and serum without the need for sample derivatization. All separations were carried out in sodium phosphate and/or sodium tetraborate buffers at alkaline pH in a 50-microm I.D. capillary. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was added to the buffer for micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) analysis of human urine. Although inherently a pulsed source, the KrF excimer laser was operated at a high pulse repetition rate of 553, 1001 or 2009 Hz to simulate a continuous wave excitation source. Detection limits were found to vary with pulse rate, as expected, in proportion to average excitation power. The following detection limits (3sigma) were determined in free solution CE: tryptophan, 4 nM; conalbumin, 10 nM; alpha-lactalbumin, 30 nM. Detection limits for indole-based compounds and catecholamine urinary metabolites under MEKC separation conditions were in the range 7-170 nM.
