Abstract:
The disclosure provides plasma spectroscopy analysis methods using a preparatory process of diluting a urine sample assumed to contain mercury or lead as an analyte metal species, and then adding a known concentration of thallium as a control metal species to the diluted urine sample; a concentration process of introducing the urine sample containing the control metal species to a measurement container, and applying an electric current across a pair of electrodes disposed in the measurement container to concentrate the analyte metal species and the control metal species present in the urine sample in a vicinity of at least one of the electrodes; a detection process; a correction process; and a quantification process.

Claim (Index 1):
A plasma spectroscopy analysis method comprising:\n a preparatory process of diluting a urine sample assumed to contain mercury or lead as an analyte metal species, and then adding a known concentration of thallium as a control metal species to the diluted urine sample; a concentration process of introducing the urine sample containing the control metal species to a measurement container, and applying an electric current across a pair of electrodes disposed in the measurement container to concentrate the analyte metal species and the control metal species present in the urine sample in a vicinity of at least one of the electrodes; a detection process of applying an electric current across the pair of electrodes after the concentration process so as to generate plasma, and detecting emitted light from the analyte metal species and the control metal species arising due to the plasma; a correction process of calculating a corrected value by correcting an analysis emission amount that is a net emission amount at an analysis wavelength corresponding to the analyte metal species detected in the detection process, using a control emission amount that is a net emission amount at a control wavelength corresponding to the control metal species detected in the detection process; and a quantification process of quantifying the analyte metal species in the urine sample by comparing the corrected value to a calibration curve obtained by advance measurements of known concentrations of the analyte metal species.
