Cisplatin and its second and third generation analogues are widely used in the treatment of cancer. To study their reactions with proteins, we present a method based on SDS‐PAGE separation and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA–ICP‐MS) for platinum detection in the reaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and cisplatin. We developed matrix‐matched standards of HSA/cisplatin mixtures and used them to quantify the amount of adducts formed at different HSA:cisplatin ratios. We noted that cisplatin incubation with HSA resulted in the formation of higher order HSA n‐mers, depending on the amount of cisplatin added. This caused a depletion of the HSA dimer bands, while the majority of HSA was present as the monomer. Inducing the formation of such higher molecular weight species may have an impact on the mode of action of metallodrugs.
