✦ Synopsis
There is continued interest in the measurement of degradation products of metallic implants in biological tissues and fluids. A study was conducted to compare analytical results obtained by the Zeeman Background Corrected Atomic Absorption Spectrometric and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometric techniques on a uniform set of triple-element (Ti, Al, and V) spiked human serum specimens over concentration ranges up to 20 ppb (20 ng/ml). The results indicate that the two methods are comparable. The positive and negative aspects of each method of instrumental analysis are discussed.
