Article Synopsis
- Clinical dosage of toxic and essential elements in blood is traditionally done through venipuncture, which has its limitations for certain individuals.
- Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) offers a promising alternative by simplifying the blood collection process and has shown advantages over traditional methods.
- A new quantification method using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry has been validated, demonstrating that VAMS can yield accurate and reproducible results for analyzing trace elements in blood.
Lead is harmful for humans by having adverse effects on different biological systems. Venepuncture is the gold standard for blood lead level analysis, but this method has many flaws. The goal of this research was to develop and validate a more practical approach for blood sampling.
