Abstract: A plasma spectroscopy analysis method includes a preliminary addition process in which a bonding agent that is an agent other than DMSA is added to the specimen collected from a living body to which meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is administered, a concentration process in which the analyte heavy metal ions in the specimen at a vicinity of one of a pair of electrodes by applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes, and a detection process in which plasma is generated by applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes, and luminescence of the analyte metal ions caused by the plasma is detected.

Abstract: The disclosure provides plasma spectroscopy analysis methods using a preparatory process of adding a control metal species that is different from an analyte metal species to a sample so as to have a known concentration; a concentration process of introducing the sample to a measurement container, and applying an electric current across a pair of electrodes disposed in the measurement container to concentrate the analyte metal species and the control metal species in the sample in a vicinity of at least one of the electrodes; a detection process; a correction process; and a quantification process.
