후 컬럼 동위원소 희석법(PCID, post column isotope dilution)을 HPLC-ICP/MS (high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry)에 적용한 정량법에서 내부 표준물을 동시에 사용하여 정확도와 정밀도를 개선하였다. 전통적인 여러 정량법과 후 컬럼 동위원소 희석법을 비교하여 볼 때에 PCID의 경우에 컬럼내에서 발생하는 오차가 가장 큰 요인으로 작용하였음을 알 수 있었다. PCID에서 내부 표준물을 사용하여 컬럼내에서의 손실에 대한 오차를 효과적으로 보정하고 정확도와 정밀도를 개선할 수 있었다. 셀레늄 화학종인 SeMet을 시료로 사용하고 내부 표준물로 MeSecys 또는 $Se^{4+}$를 이용한 결과, 사용하지 않은 경우와 비교하면 상대오차는 각 각 31%와 13%에서 모두 1% 대로 낮아져 정확도가 크게 개선되었으며, 상대 표준편차는 5.1%와 6.9%에서 각각 1.5%와 0.2%로 정밀도 또한 크게 개선되었다. PCID에서 내부 표준물을 사용하였을 때의 정량분석법의 장점을 다른 분석법과 비교 토의하였다.

An isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (ID LC-MS/MS) method has been developed and applied to the determination of arsenobetaine (AsB, ${(CH_3)_3}^+AsCH_2COO^-$) from oyster candidate certified reference material (CRM). The exact matching isotope dilution approach was adopted for accurate determination of AsB using $^{13}C_2$-labeled AsB as an internal standard. Efficiencies of different AsB extraction methods were evaluated using a codfish reference material and a simple sonication method was selected as the method of choice for the certification of the oyster candidate CRM. The hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS) in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode was optimized for adequate chromatographic retention and robust quantification of AsB from codfish and oyster samples. By analyzing 12 subsamples taken from each 12 bottles systematically selected from the whole oyster CRM batch, the certified value of AsB was determined as $6.60mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\pm}0.31mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and it showed excellent between-bottle homogeneity of less than 0.42%, which is represented by relative standard deviation of 12 bottles from the CRM batch. The major source of uncertainty was the certified value of the AsB standard solution.

본 연구에서는 토양중에 존재하는 폴리브롬화 디페닐에테르 (polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs)를 동위원소희석법을 이용한 기체크로마토그래피/질량분석기-선택이온검색법에 의해 검출하는 분석방법을 소개하였다. 토양 중 PBDEs는 속실렛 장치로 추출하고 실리카와 플로리실 흡착제를 이용한 고체상 추출법을 비교하였다. 정제 후 추출물은 기체크로마토그래피/질량분석기-선택이온검색방법으로 분석하였으며, 동위원소로 치환된 4종의 PBDEs를 내부표준물질로 이용한 동위원소 희석법으로 8종의 PBDEs를 정량하였다. 속실렛추출 후 플로리실과 실리카 카트리지를 통한 회수율은 각각 30.8~110.8%, 44.4~110.7%이었다. 이 분석법의 검출한계는 0.04~0.3 ng/g로 나타났다.

후 컬럼 동위원소 희석법의 불확도를 HPLC-ICP/MS에서 Selenomethionine을 분석할 경우에 대하여 간단히 연구하였다. 주요하다고 생각한 오차의 원인으로 셀레늄 동위원소 용액의 농도와 흐름속도, 스파이크 용액과 시료 용액에서의 셀레늄 원자량, 그리고 스파이크된 시료용액에서 측정된 동위원소의 비를 선택하였다. 각 요인에 따른 불확도를 구하고 전체 농도의 불확도에 미치는 요인을 계산한 결과, 각각에 대하여 54.4%와 0.61%, 0.0072%와 0.018%, 그리고 45.0%를 얻었다. 가장 큰 요인은 스파이크 동위원소 용액의 농도이며 두 번째는 스파이크가 첨가된 시료용액에서의 동위원소비이었다. 스파이크 용액의 질량흐름속도와 원자량의 불활도는 크게 영향을 끼치지 못하였다. 계산된 전체불확도는 $126.30ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ SeMet 표준용액에 대하여 $1.46ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$으로서 실험결과는 $127.09ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$을 얻었고 상대불확도는 1.20%이었다.

Cross reacting antibodies can cause an overestimation of the results of immunoassays. Therefore, alternative methods are needed for the accurate quantification of steroids. Gas chromatography combined with isotope-dilution mass spectrometry (GC-IDMS) is developed to quantify urinary active androgens, testosterone, epitestosterone and dihydrotestosterone, which are clinically relevant androgens to both hair-loss and prostate diseases. The method devised involves enzymatic hydrolysis with $\beta$-glucuronidase, solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction using methyl tert-butyl ether and subsequent conversion to pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl-trimethylsilyl (flophemesyl-TMS) derivatives for sensitive and selective analysis in selected-ion monitoring mode. Flophemesyl-TMS derivatization not only eliminates matrix interference but also has a good peak resolution within a 6 min-run. A selective and sensitive GC technique with flophemesyl-TMS derivatives also allows accurate quantitative analysis of three active androgens when combined with IDMS. The limit of quantification of the three analytes was <50 pg/mL, and extraction recoveries ranged from 91.9 to 102.1%. The precision and accuracy were 1.2~6.5% and 89.0~106.7%, respectively. This GC-IDMS method can be useful for evaluating the drug efficacy and monitoring the biological processes responsible for male-pattern baldness and prostate diseases.

Malachite green (MG) has been used world-widely in aquaculture as a parasiticide or fungicide. Although MG performed successfully, it has not been permitted for use in aquaculture from European Union, USA, and Canada because of its carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. We developed a sensitive and specific method to determine MG and its principal metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), respectively by isotope dilution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS). To enhance the extraction recovery of MG and LMG from fish tissue, an additional step, saponification, was introduced in sample preparation process to remove fat in sample extract, which hampered the performance of SPE columns. The residue of MG and LMG in fish was analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode by monitoring at m/z 329 and 334 for MG and $d_5$-MG and at m/z 331 and 337 for LMG and $^{13}C_6$-LMG, respectively. This method was validated by comparing with the value of the reference material provided by Laboratory Government Chemistry (LGC). The results agreed within the measurement uncertainty and the accuracy was much improved than the provided reference value by LGC.

A determination method for $^{237}Np$ in spent nuclear fuel samples was developed using an isotope dilution method with $^{239}Np$ as a spike. In this method, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was taken for the $^{237}Np$ instead of the previously used alpha spectrometry. $^{237}Np$ and $^{239}Np$ were measured by ICP-MS and gamma spectrometry, respectively. The recovery yield of $^{237}Np$ in synthetic samples was $95.9{\pm}9.7$% (1S, n=4). The $^{237}Np$ contents in the spent fuel samples were 0.15, 0.25, and $1.06{\mu}g/mgU$ and these values were compared with those from ORIGEN-2 code. A fairly good agreement between the measurements (m) and calculations (c) was obtained, giving ratios (m/c) of 0.93, 1.12 and 1.25 for the three PWR spent fuel samples with burnups of 16.7, 19.0, and 55.9 GWd/MtU, respectively.

Ibuprofen is one of the most popular analgesic and antipyretic drugs. An isotope dilution mass spectrometry method based on LC/MS was developed as a candidate reference method for the accurate determination of ibuprofen in pharmaceutical tablets. Isotope labelled ibuprofen, $ibuprofen-d_3$, was added as an internal standard into sample extracts. Ibuprofen and $ibuprofen-d_3$, was analysed by LC/MS in a selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode to detect ions at m/z 205 and 208, respectively. The repeatability and reproducibility of the developed ID-LC/MS method were tested for the validation and assessment of metrological quality of the method.

Uniformly-doped silicon thin films were fabricated by ion beam sputter deposition. The thin films had four levels of copper dopant concentration ranging between 1 ${\times}$1019 and 1 ${\times}$ 1021 atoms/cm3 . Concentrations of Copper dopants were determined by the isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to provide certified reference data for the quantitative surface analysis by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The copper-doped thin films were dissolved in a mixture of 1 M HF and 3 M HNO3 spiked with appropriate amounts of 65 Cu. For an accurate isotope ratio determination, both the detector dead time and the mass discrimination were appropriately corrected and isobaric interference from SiAr molecular ions was avoided by a careful sample pretreatment. An analyte recovery efficiency was obtained for the Cu spiked samples to evaluate accuracy of the method. Uncertainty of the determined copper concentrations, estimated following the EURACHEM Guide, was less than 4%, and detection limit of this method was 5.58 ${\times}$ 1016 atoms/cm3.
