A1 - Vogl, Jochen T1 - Combining Isotope Dilution and Standard Addition - Elemental Analysis in Complex Samples N2 - A new method combining isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) and standard addition has been developed to determine the mass fractions w of different elements in complex matrices: (a) silicon in aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), (b) sulfur in biodiesel fuel, and (c) iron bound to transferrin in human serum. All measurements were carried out using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP–MS). The method requires the gravimetric preparation of several blends (bi)—each consisting of roughly the same masses (mx,i) of the sample solution (x) and my,i of a spike solution (y) plus different masses (mz,i) of a reference solution (z). Only these masses and the isotope ratios (Rb,i) in the blends and reference and spike solutions have to be measured. The derivation of the underlying equations based on linear regression is presented and compared to a related concept reported by Pagliano and Meija. The uncertainties achievable, e.g., in the case of the Si blank in extremely pure TMAH of urel (w(Si)) = 90% (linear regression method, this work) and urel (w(Si)) = 150% (the method reported by Pagliano and Meija) seem to suggest better applicability of the new method in practical use due to the higher robustness of regression analysis.

There is a variety of approaches which either bypass IIF such as delta measurements or refer to reference materials (RMs) and thus shifting the problem of calibration to somebody else: the RM producer. For certifying isotope RMs with absolute isotope ratios only a few approaches are available, namely the isotope mixture approach, the double spike approach, the mass bias regression model and total evaporation in TIMS. All of them require either enriched isotopes, isotope RMs of another element or an RM for correcting residual error. As the enriched isotopes required for the isotope mixture and the double spike approach need to be fully characterized beforehand, all mentioned calibration approaches require a standard. Here, a new and standard-free calibration approach for obtaining absolute isotope ratios of multi-isotopic elements has been developed. The underlying principle is that each MS suffers from IIF and thus yields a specific isotope fractionation line in a three-isotope diagram. When applying a second MS featuring a different ionization mechanism, we obtain a second isotope fractionation line with a different slope in the same three-isotope diagram. In both cases the absolute isotope ratios range somewhere on the isotope fractionation line. Consequentially, the intersect of both lines yield the absolute isotope ratios of the measured sample. This theory has been tested by measuring Cd and Pb isotope ratios of suitable isotope RMs with a TIMS and an ICP-MS, both equipped with multi-collector array. During the measurements the ionization conditions were changed such that different extent of the isotope fractionation has been achieved. With the resulting data set the theory described above could be verified. The obtained absolute isotope ratios were metrologically compatible with the certified isotope ratios. The remaining average bias of -5 ‰ can be reduced with further improvements. The calibration approach is universal and can be applied to any multi-isotopic element and it is not limited by the type of the mass spectrometer.

T1 - Isotope signature of iron, copper and zinc in mouse models (L66 and 5XFAD) and their controls used for dementia research N2 - Introduction: The influence of copper, iron and zinc concentrations on the formation of ß-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is widely discussed in the community. The results from human and animal studies so far are mixed with some studies showing a correlation and others not. From a number of studies, it is known that disease state and isotopic composition of essential elements can be coupled. Aim: The aim of the study was to identify changes in element content and isotopic composition in two transgenic mouse models used in AD research compared to their genetic WT relatives and to establish whether element content and isotopic signature between different laboratories is comparable. Methods: ß-amyloid (5xFAD) and tau overexpressing (L66) mice together with their matching wild-types were bred at dedicated facilities in accordance with the European Communities Council Directive (63/2010/EU). Serum and brain were sampled after sacrifice and the samples distributed among the participants of the study. The tissues were acid digested for total element determination and high-precision isotope ratio determination. Element content was determined by either sector-field or quadrupole-based inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). For the determination of isotope ratios multi-collector ICPMS was used. Results: Total copper content was significantly higher for L66 and their matched WT compared to 5xFAD and WT. Brains of L66 mice contained more Fe in brain than their WT, Zn and Cu were not significantly different between L66 and WT. Whereas 5xFAD mice had a slightly lower Cu and slightly higher Zn concentration in brain compared to WT. The isotopic signature in brain of L66 mice for Fe was different from their controls, whereas Zn isotope ratios were influenced in 5xFAD mice compared to their WT . The Cu isotopic ratio did not seem to be influenced in either strain. In serum, the shifts were less pronounced. Conclusion: Even though neither Tau-protein nor amyloid precursor protein are known to be metal-dependent / -containing proteins, the overexpression of both influences the Fe, Cu and Zn metabolism in brain and to some extent also in serum as can be seen not only using total element determination but probably more clearly studying the isotopic signature of Fe, Cu and Zn.

Contrary to other calibration approaches, IDMS does not directly suffer from long-time changes or drifts in instrument sensitivity. Moreover, provided isotopic exchange between the sample and spike is ensured, losses of analyte do not affect the analytical result. Both advantages are based on the fact that IDMS only requires isotope ratio measurements and isotope ratios are largely unaffected by instrumental drift, setup or by matrix, unless an isobaric interference is present. The Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM), the world's highest institution for metrology in chemistry, considers IDMS as the most important “Primary Method of Measurement” for amount determination. The total combined uncertainty, according to ISO and EURACHEM guidelines, can easily be calculated via the IDMS equations. Applying it correctly, IDMS has the potential to be a primary method of measurement yielding SI traceable values in the most direct way with combined uncertainties significantly smaller than obtainable by other methods. In general it can be stated that IDMS is the most important reference method for elemental and elemental species analysis, offering highest accuracy and precision or smallest measurement uncertainties, when properly applied. Thus IDMS represents by far the best suited reference method for RM characterisation. Due to its universal applicability IDMS offers sufficient potential to follow future needs in analytical chemistry as well as in the RM sector. This presentation will demonstrate the basic principle of IDMS and will show its Pros and Cons as well as its pitfalls. Possible sources of errors and bias are mentioned and correction models will be discussed. Notice will be given to metrological aspects such as traceability and uncertainty. Differences in the application of thermal ionization mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry are discussed as well as differences between different types of mass spectrometers. This will be illustrated by practical examples from various fields.

In the past the investigation and interpretation of such variations was the field of a limited number of experts. With new upcoming techniques and research topics in the last decades, such as provenance and authenticity of food, the number of published isotope data strongly increased. Instrumental developments such as the enhancement of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICPMS) from an instrument for simple quantitative analysis to highly sophisticated isotope ratio machines influenced this process significantly. While in former times only experts in mass spectrometry were able to produce reliable isotope data, nowadays many laboratories, never been in touch with mass spectrometry before, produce isotope data with an ICPMS. Especially for such user isotope reference materials (IRM) are indispensible to enable a reliable method validation. The fast development and the broad availability of ICPMS also lead to an expansion of the classical research areas and new elements are under Investigation. This presentation shows the basics and principles for isotope ratio determination using ICP-MS. Additionally, it provides three specific examples for isotope Ratio applications: isotope dilution mass spectrometry; provenancing of archaeoligical artifeacts by lead isotope Ratio Analysis and studies on boron uptake in bell pepper plants.
