Characteristics of fast response system for electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

Quantification of vanadium in serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

We describe an ultrasensitive and reliable method for determining vanadium in human serum by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. After lyophilization, the serum is digested in acid at high pressure, and the digests are evaporated to a small volume. Vanadium in the digests is complexed with cupferron, extracted, and dried. The residue is redissolved in formic acid, where it is 15-fold...

Determination of cadmium in wine by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

A method is described for direct electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric (ETAAS) determination of cadmium in untreated samples of wine. Pyrolytic graphite tubes and graphite tubes with standard L'vov pyrolytic platforms were tested as atomizers. The detection limit achieved was 0.08 microg L(-1) Cd in wine. The relative standard deviation for the concentration range from 0.2 to 10 microg...

Automated on-line separation–preconcentration system for platinum determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A flow injection on-line sorption preconcentration system for the electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of platinum has been developed. The method employs on-line preconcentration of platinum on a column packed with silica gel functionalised with 1,5-bis(di-2-pyridyl)methylene thiocarbohydrazide (DPTH-gel) placed in the autosampler arm. The modification of the autosampler...

Cr (VI)/Cr (III) SPECIATION BY IN SITU ELECTRODEPOSITION ONTO TUBE PRIOR TO ELECTROTHERMAL ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY

Electrochemical modification of a graphite platform for a solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry of mercury.

An electrodeposited palladium and iridium/gold mixture has been investigated as a chemical modifier for mercury determination in environmental samples by solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Electrochemical procedures of platform surface modification performed in a cell with 20 ml of solution, and in a drop of modifier solution have been optimized. Simple electrolysis i...
