Quantitation of Cu

Method Object Cu concentration
AAS
(45)
Plasma 15-20μM
CSF 0.5μM
μXRF Localized Cu
accumulation
in cell
~100-500 mM*
Area in cell
without Cu
accumulation
~130-300 μM
*

This number is obtained with the assumption that localized Cu accumulation is about 1 μm in diameter and the signal detected in μXRF pixel on 10 μm thick section comes from single accumulation.
