  • 摘要: 针对人发硒检测中前处理复杂、实验室方法难以现场快速筛查的问题,结合中国土壤硒普遍缺乏及其通过食物链影响人体硒营养状况的现实背景,本文建立了一种基于单色聚焦高精度X射线荧光光谱(HPXRF)的快速分析方法。研究中,采用高灵敏度、低背景噪声的HPXRF技术,并通过将复杂的样品前处理简化为仅剪碎至1 ~ 2 mm,同时引入自主设计的双层膜薄样制样装置,实现对样品厚度、质量与分布的精确控制,显著提高了测试结果的平行性与准确度。系统实验表明,在制样方法环节,提出的双层膜薄样法相较于常规松散制样,可显著提升样品均匀性与信号稳定性,使Se元素特征峰的峰背比提升约46%,有效降低了基体效应;样品用量方面,仅需125 mg样品即可获得稳定的荧光信号,满足了微量生物样本的分析需求;检测条件方面,该方法制备的样品均匀性良好,无需借助旋转平台即可获得高重复性结果;在核心部件选配环节,6 mm2 Si-PIN探测器在满足痕量硒检测灵敏度要求的同时,兼具了显著的性价比优势。方法验证结果表明,硒元素在314 ~ 2282 μg/kg范围内线性关系良好,检出限达91 μg/kg。本研究建立的人发硒含量快速分析方法,简便快速、结果可靠,为该类样品硒的现场快速分析提供了可行的技术手段。

     

    Abstract: To address the challenges of complex sample pretreatment and the difficulty of on-site rapid screening for selenium (Se) detection in human hair, this study established a rapid analytical method based on high precision X-ray fluorescence (HPXRF). This work was motivated by the widespread selenium deficiency in Chinese soils and its subsequent impact on human selenium nutrition through the food chain. The proposed method employs high-sensitivity, low-background-noise HPXRF technology and simplifies sample pretreatment to merely cutting the hair into 1–2 mm segments. A custom-designed double-film thin sample preparation device was introduced to precisely control sample thickness, mass, and distribution, significantly improving measurement parallelism and accuracy. Systematic experiments demonstrated that the double-film thin sample method significantly enhances sample uniformity and signal stability compared to conventional loose sample preparation, increasing the peak-to-background ratio of the Se characteristic peak by approximately 46% and effectively reducing matrix effects. A stable fluorescence signal was obtained with only 125 mg of sample, meeting the analysis requirements for trace biological samples. Samples prepared with this method exhibited good uniformity, enabling highly repeatable results without the need for a rotating platform. For core component selection, a 6 mm2 Si-PIN detector was chosen, as it satisfies the sensitivity requirements for trace selenium detection while offering a significant cost-performance advantage. Method validation showed a good linear relationship for Se in the range of 314–2282 μg/kg, with a detection limit of 91 μg/kg. The rapid analysis method for selenium in human hair established in this study is simple, rapid, and reliable, providing a feasible technical approach for the on-site rapid analysis of this element in such samples.
