Detection of arsenobetaine in human blood

Arsenobetaine was detected and quantified unambiguously in human plasma, serum and red blood cells by the combination of HPLC with ICP MS. Three different column conditions, i.e. two ionpair chromatographies for anionic (LC-1) and cationic (LC-2) compounds and gel-permeation chromatography (LC-3), were employed to confirm the assignment. Arsenobetaine was detected in every sample as a major component of the water-soluble arsenic compounds, with an increasing concentration in plasma < serum < blood cell fractions. It was the sole detectable arsenic compound in LC-1 and LC-2, while a broad peak corresponding to high-molecular-weight compounds was identified in addition to arsenobetaine in LC-3.
