Tracing multi-isotopically labelled CdSe/ZnS quantum dots in biological media

Résumé

The strengths and limits of isotopically labelled Engineered Nanoparticles (spiked ENPs) spread in biological media have been assessed. Multi-spiked CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), measuring 7 nm and coated with thioglycolic acid (TGA), were synthesized and enriched in 68Zn, 77Se and 111Cd. These QDs were dispersed at very low concentrations (0.1 to 5000 ppt) in diverse biological matrices (synthetic saliva, synthetic urine, plasma and Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline - DPBS growth medium) and the isotopic compositions were determined by HR-ICP-MS. The initial QDs concentrations were calculated to assess the limit of quantification (QD-LOQ) according to the matrix and the isotopically enriched element. The obtained results demonstrated the advantages of the isotopic labelling method in order to work at very low concentrations: the QD-LOQ values for the spiked Zn, Cd and Se originated from the QDs were 10, 0.3 and 6 ppt, respectively, which is below the conventional LOQ of the HR-ICP-MS used (30, 3 and 60 ppt for Zn, Cd and Se, respectively). Conversely, in complex matrices such as saliva, urine, plasma and DPBS growth medium, the QD-LOQ values increased significantly, with values ranging from 16 to 32 ppt for Cd, 446 to 10598 ppt for Zn and 1618 to 8317 ppt for Se. These QD-LOQs are dependent on factors as the elemental background concentration already present in the matrices, and the dilution factor. In this study, the QD-LOQs are expressed for the first time with respect to the background concentration in biological media (QD-RLOQ), which can be used to better assess and then predict the efficiency of the spiking method.
