  • 동위원소희석법은 스파이크(농축 동위원소)를 사용하여, 질량분석기에서 얻어지는 각 원소들의 동위원소 스펙트럼을 비교함으로써 정량화하는 방법으로서, 현재까지 개발된 정량분석 방법 중 가장 정확한 방법이다. 특히 열이온 질량분석기(Thermal Ion Mass Spectrometer)를 이용한 동위원소희석법은 현재까지 알려진 분석방법 중 가장 신뢰도가 높은 결과(1% 이내의 정도까지 가능함)를 얻을 수가 있다. 동위원소회석법에 의해 정량분석을 하고자 할 때, 가장 중요한 요인중의 하나로서 스파이크(농축 동위원소)의 선택이다. 회토류원소의 복합 스파이크용액을 만들 때의 개개의 회토류원소의 스파이크는 $^{138}$ $La^{142}$ , $Ce^{145}$ /Nd, $^{149}$ /, $Sm^{151}$ , $Sm^{151}$Eu, $^{157}$ Gd, $^{163}$ Dy, $^{167}$ Er, $^{171}$ , $Yb^{176}$ Lu를 많이 쓴다. 이 동위원소희석법에 의한 정량분석이 가장 유용하게 쓰여지고 있는 지구화학적 연구분야는 암석이나 광물의 연대를 측정하고자 할 때의 관심원소의 정량 및 자연계시료의 회토류 원소의 미세구조를 들 수가 있다. 특히 희토류원소의 테트라드 효과를 연구하고자 할 때, 이 동위원소희석법은 아주 효과적인 방법이다.

  • As background significantly affects measurement accuracy and a detection limit in determination of the trace amounts of uranium, it is necessary to minimize the impurities in the filaments used for thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). We have varied the degassing condition such as the heating currents and duration times to reduce the backgrounds from the filaments prepared with zone-refined rhenium tape. The most efficient degassing condition of the heating current and the duration time was determined as 3.5 A and 60 min, respectively. The TIMS measurement combined with the isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) technique showed that the uranium backgrounds were determined to be in a few fg level from blank rhenium filaments. The background minimized filaments were utilized to measure the uranium isotope ratios of a U030 (NIST) standard sample. The excellent agreement of the measurement with the certified isotope ratios showed that the degassing procedure optimized in this study efficiently reduced the impurity signals of uranium from blank rhenium filaments to a negligible level.

  • In clinical diagnosis, it's well known that the abnormal level of uric acid (UA) in human body is implicated in diverse human diseases, for instance, chronic heart failure, gouty arthritis, diabetes, and so on. As a primary method, an isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) has been used to obtain the accurate quantity of UA in blood or serum and also develop the certificated reference material (CRM) so as to provide a SI-traceability to clinical laboratories. Due to the low solubility of UA in water, an ammonium hydroxide ($NH_4OH$) has been considered as a promising solvent to increase the solubility of UA that enables the preparation of both UA and its isotope standard solution for next IDMS-based absolute quantification. But, because of using this $NH_4OH$ solvent, it gives rise to the unwanted degradation of UA. In this study, we sought to optimize condition for the stability of UA in $NH_4OH$ solution by varying the mole ratios of UA to $NH_4OH$, followed by ID-LC-MRM analysis. In addition, we also inspected minutely the effect of the storage temperatures. Additionally, we also performed the quantitative analysis of UA in the KRISS serum certificated reference material (CRM, 111-01-02A) with diverse mixing ratios of UA to $NH_4OH$ and then compared those values to its certification value. Based on our experiments, adjusting the mole ratio of 1/2 ($UA/NH_4OH$) with the storage temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$ is an effective way to secure both the solubility and stability of UA in $NH_4OH$ solution for next IDMS-based quantification of UA in serum.

  • 안식향산, 메틸파라벤, 부틸파라벤은 식품, 의약품뿐 만 아니라 화장품 분야에서도 사용되는 보존료이다. 그러나 이들 보존료들의 여러 가지 독성이 보고되면서, 한국을 비롯하여 여러 나라들에서 식품 중의 이들 보존료의 사용을 규제하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 간장 중의 안식향산, 메틸파라벤, 부틸파라벤의 정확하고 정밀한 분석을 위하여 세가지 분석물질의 동위원소를 내부표준물질로 이용하는 동위원소 희석 액체크로마토그래피 질량분석법 (Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, ID-LC/MS)을 개발하였다. 메틸, 부틸 파라벤보다 pKa가 낮은 안식향산을 고려하여 acetic acid로 pH 4.0으로 조정한 5 mM ammonium acetate를 이동상 용매로 사용하여 C18 컬럼으로 분리하였다. 질량분석 조건으로는 전기분무이온화법으로 음이온을 생성하여 음이온 모드에서 분석하였으며, 방해물질로부터 선택성을 향상하기 위해 선택반응분석법 (Selected Reaction Monitoring)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 간장의 색깔과 간장 중의 여러 가지 방해물질들을 제거하기 위하여 C18 카트리지를 이용하여 정제하였다. 최적화된 조건과 방법을 이용하여 싱가포르 Health Science Authority(HSA)가 제공하는 간장 기준시료를 분석하였다. 본 연구원에서 측정한 결과값은 HSA가 제공하는 기준값과 불확도 내에서 일치하였다.

  • The correlation of the isotopic composition of uranium, plutonium, neodymium, and cesium with the burnup for high burnup pressurized water reactor fuels irradiated in nuclear power reactors has been experimentally investigated. The total burnup was determined by Nd-148 and the fractional $^{235}U$ burnup was determined by U and Pu mass spectrometric methods. The isotopic compositions of U, Pu, Nd, and Cs after their separation from the irradiated fuel samples were measured using thermal ionization mass spectrometry. The contents of these elements in the irradiated fuel were determined through an isotope dilution mass spectrometric method using $^{233}U$, $^{242}Pu$, $^{150}Nd$, and $^{133}Cs$ as spikes. The activity ratios of Cs isotopes in the fuel samples were determined using gamma-ray spectrometry. The content of each element and its isotopic compositions in the irradiated fuel were expressed by their correlation with the total and fractional burnup, burnup parameters, and the isotopic compositions of different elements. The results obtained from the experimental methods were compared with those calculated using the ORIGEN-S code.

  • A current interest in chemistry concerns traceability of analytical measurements to the International System of Units (SI) and the proper estimation of their uncertainties in accordance with the internationally agreed guide provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) is regarded as a primary method, which make the measurement results traceable to SI units without significant empirical correction factors. Our laboratory, as the national standards institute of Korea, participated in an intercomparison of environmental analysis, pp'-DDE in corn oil, which was organized by the CCQM under supervision of the CIPM to test feasibility of IDMS as a primary method for the trace analysis of organic compounds. In this report, we provide basic equations used for the calculation of the concentration of the analyte in a sample and a precise description of the processes for the evaluation of the uncertainties of the measurement results. Also, we report the experimental conditions adopted to improve the accuracy of the IDMS measurement. The principles contained in ??Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement'' provided by ISO are followed for the uncertainty evaluation.

  • 혈청 내 콜레스테롤을 정량분석하기 위한 일차분석법으로 동위원소희석 액체크로마토그래피/질량분석법(isotope dilution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry)을 사용하였다. 콜레스테롤은 Thermo ODS hypersil $C^{18}$ 칼럼을 사용하여 분리하였고, 이동상은 100% 메탄올, 유속은 0.3 mL/min으로 하였다. 콜레스테롤과 콜레스테롤-$3,4-13C_2$$[M-H_2O+H]^+$이온에 해당하는 m/z 369.4와 371.3에서 모니터링하여 정량에 합당한 크로마토그램을 얻을 수 있었다. 방법의 유효성을 증명하기 위해서 NIST SRM 909b를 분석한 결과 인증값과 불확도 범위 내에서 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 방법을 바탕으로 혈청 인증표준 물질 4 종류를 제조하여 인증을 실시하였다. 인증 결과, 반복성의 상대표준오차는 0.1~0.8%, 재현성의 경우 0.24%이하, 확장 불확도는 95% 신뢰도구간에서 약 1.43%로 나타났다.
