A new method based on LC-ICP-MS technique has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of borax and polyphosphates (phosphate, pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate) in foods. The analytes were extracted from the samples with 18 mM sulfuric acid solution using ultrasonic vibration extraction technique before being filtered and analyzed by LC-ICP-MS system. The method was validated with calibration curves that have the coefficient of determination (R2) higher than 0.995. The method limits of detection (LOD) of borax, phosphate, pyrophosphate (Pyro-P), and tripolyphosphate (Tripoly-P) were in the range of 2.5 to 15.0 mg/kg. The recoveries were in the range of 86.0 to 107.0% and the relative standard deviations were below 5.23%. A total of 83 samples of cereal, meat, and seafood-based food were analyzed for research purposes. The results did not indicate a risk of using borax and polyphosphates in most rice products. Meanwhile, meat products including pork paste and roasted pork sold in traditional markets had a borax detection rate of over 60%. This study showed that there was still a risk of using borax in food processing and the use of polyphosphates in food products collected in some districts in Hanoi city.

Abstract Background: An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)-based immunoassay has been proposed independently by Baranov et al. (Anal Chem 2002;74:1629–36) and our group, but the applicability of this method for multianalyte analysis in clinical samples has not been fully illustrated. We developed a dual-label immunoassay method for the simultaneous determination of α-fetoprotein (AFP) and free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCGβ) in human serum. Methods: Monoclonal antibodies immobilized on microtiter plates captured AFP and hCGβ, which were detected by use of Eu3+-labeled anti-AFP and Sm3+-labeled anti-hCGβ monoclonal antibodies. Eu3+ and Sm3+ were dissociated from the immunocomplex with HNO3 solution (10 mL/L) and delivered by peristaltic pump to the ICP mass spectrometer. Results: The measurable ranges of AFP and hCGβ were 4.6–500 and 5.0–170 μg/L, respectively, with detection limits of 1.2 and 1.7 μg/L (3 SD above mean of zero calibrator), respectively. The intraassay imprecision (CV) for AFP was 8.3%, 4.0%, and 2.7% at 16.3, 86, and 354 μg/L, respectively, and the interassay CV was 10%, 5.7%, and 3.5%. For hCGβ, the intraassay CV was 5.4%, 6.4%, and 3.1%, respectively, at 10.5, 45.2, and 105 μg/L, and the interassay CV was 7.2%, 8.0%, and 3.7%. Comparison with IRMAs for AFP and hCGβ yielded correlation coefficients (r2) of 0.97 and 0.95. Conclusions: Two proteins can be measured simultaneously by immunoassays using two rare earth elemental tags (Eu3+ and Sm3+) and ICP-MS detection. The multielement capability and the multiple potential elemental labels make ICP-MS attractive for multianalyte immunoassays. Implementation of ICP-MS-linked immunoassays may be relatively straightforward because the labeling and immunoreaction procedures have been well developed for clinical time-resolved immunofluorometric assays.
