Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug. Due to severe side effects and intrinsic or acquired resistance, there is a great interest in developing new platinum-based anticancer agents and a need for robust and validated analytical methods for determination of platinum accumulation in biological samples. A validated ICP-MS method for quantification of total carbon and platinum in cell samples is presented, applicable for cellular drug accumulation studies of platinum-based drugs, enabling estimation of drug accumulation while simultaneously determining carbon to monitor the sample digestion efficiency. Adequate precision (RSD <6%), accuracy and sensitivity were achieved for carbon and platinum determinations. Limits of detection were 0.9-3.0 mg/L for carbon and 0.11-0.50 μg/L for platinum. Determination of platinum by ICP-MS in cell samples digested applying either open-vessel or microwave-assisted acid digestion produced similar concentrations, although the residual carbon content in the sample solutions were significantly higher following open-vessel acid digestion compared to microwave-assisted acid digestion. Experiments showed that the residual carbon content after acid digestion did not have an influence on determination of total platinum by ICP-MS.

The Wanshan mercury mining area (WMMA) in Guizhou Province, China, has been identified as a region at high ecological risk owing to heavy metal contamination. This study employed non-lethal sampling methods, using the phalanges of Pelophylax nigromaculatus in the WMMA as analytical material. Ten heavy metal (metalloid) elements were selected for analysis, including Hg, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, As, and Se.

Heavy metals and metalloids are increasingly recognised as a threat to avian health, especially in species at the top of the food chain such as vultures. Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) are ideal bioindicators for studying environmental contamination due to their scavenging habits and territorial behavior. In this study, we analysed the concentrations of six trace elements (Cd, Pb, Cr, Sb, Ni, and Cu) in feathers, pectoral plumage, and blood samples of Griffon Vultures from a captive environment in Sicily, Southern Italy, using an ICP-MS method.

Matrix effects can significantly bias Hf isotopic ratios in situ Hf isotope analyses using laser ablation (LA-) multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS), necessitating the use of matrix-matched reference materials for accurate microanalysis. This work introduces a novel fast hot-pressing (FHP) sintering method to produce such reference materials efficiently for in situ analysis. By optimizing sintering temperatures, FHP technology enables the rapid preparation of in situ analysis reference materials with dense structures and homogeneous Hf isotopic compositions.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a myriad of biological processes and thus have been regarded as useful biomarkers in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. The specific and highly sensitive detection of miRNAs is of significant importance. Herein, a sensitive and rapid dual-amplification elemental labeling single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) analytical method based on strand displacement amplification (SDA) and CRISPR/Cas12a was developed for miRNA-21 detection.
