An X-ray spectrometric method using a sequential wavelength dispersive instrument is described for the analysis of bromide in whole blood from workers occupationally exposed to methyl bromide. The method involves the direct deposition of 100 microL of whole blood onto filter paper discs. Calibration of the instrument is achieved using the standard addition technique for bromide concentrations up to 50 mg/L. Precision studies at concentrations of 6.1, 16.4, and 26.9 mg/L gave relative standard deviation values of 5.8, 4.1, and 2.8%, respectively. The detection limit for the method is 1.2 mg/L.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D013052 Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission The spectrometric analysis of fluorescent X-RAYS, i.e. X-rays emitted after bombarding matter with high energy particles such as PROTONS; ELECTRONS; or higher energy X-rays. Identification of ELEMENTS by this technique is based on the specific type of X-rays that are emitted which are characteristic of the specific elements in the material being analyzed. The characteristic X-rays are distinguished and/or quantified by either wavelength dispersive or energy dispersive methods.
