Purpose: To validate a bioanalytical inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for quantification of iron in human plasma with K2EDTA (matrix). This method was validated using typical bioanalytical validation parameters. Materials and methods: Iron reference standards and germanium internal standard (IS) were from Ultra Scientific. Reagent water had a resistivity ?18 M?cm. Nitric acid and hydrochloric acid were ultra pure grade. Blank matrix was purchased from BioReclamation. Linearity was assessed using eight standards prepared in proxy matrix over a range equivalent to 0.5-20 ?g iron/mL of matrix at the beginning and end of each run. Quality control (QC) samples were prepared by fortifying matrix at 0.5, 1.5, 10, 15 and 100 ?g/mL. A blank containing IS and a double blank were included in every run. Selectivity was evaluated using six different lots of matrix for.. View More»
