Abstract
A suitable procedure was developed for speciation analysis of metalloprotein complexes in serum using directly coupled size-exclusion chromatography and an element-specific detector. Two column matrices used for size-exclusion chromatography (TSK G 3000 SW and Asahipak GS 520) were investigated with respect to the recovery and retention behaviour for metalloprotein complexes. Optimisation of the separation parameters (buffer type, concentration, pH) was achieved by means of metalloprotein complexes marked with radiotracers. For speciation of serum the matrix in the Asahipak GS column is more efficient. Given optimal eluent characteristics (100 m M Tris, pH 7.4) the recovery of the elements investigated (sodium, calcium, iron and zinc) was 100%. Further, the retention behaviour (retention time, ratios of the peak areas) remained unchanged for several successive separations.
