Chromium in plasma and urine as measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy.

Application of Ion - Imprinted Polymer Synthesized as New Sorbent for Preconcentration and Separation of Thallium (I) and Its Determination by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

At this study, thallium (I) ion-imprinted polymer, as a novel sorbent for Tl (I) and comparison with Tl(III) ion-imprinted polymer has been synthesized. This sorbent for preconcentration and solid-phase extraction of Tl(I) ions from aqueous solutions, used. Through preparing the binary complex of Tl(I) ions with 5, 7-dichloroquinoline-8-ol (DCQ) the particles of thallium (I) Ion-Imprinted P...

Elimination of Chemical and Spectral Interferences in Measurement of Trace Elements in Urine and Blood by Combined Electrodeposition-Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A combined electrodeposition-ETAAS technique has been applied to the analysis of Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr and Mn in biological samples in order to overcome interferences and to minimize sample pretreatment. It requires minimal sample preparation with the electrolysis process aiding partial decomposition of the organic matrix, adequate for the release and deposition of trace elements. In an initia...

Determination of Cadmium by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry after its Separation and Preconcentration by Syringe to Syringe Dispersive Liquid Phase Microextraction-Solidified Floating Organic Drop

The application of syringe to syringe dispersive liquid phase microextraction-solidified floating organic drop was extended for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium ions from water and cereal samples. The extracted cadmium was quantified by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Factors affecting the complex formation as well as microextraction efficiency such...

Blood-collection device for trace and ultra-trace metal specimens evaluated.

We evaluated the evacuated phlebotomy tube designed specifically for trace metal analysis by Sherwood Medical Co. Pools of human serum containing known concentrations of aluminum, arsenic, calcium, cadmium, copper, chromium, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, mercury, selenium, and zinc were exposed to the tube and rubber stopper for defined periods ranging from 5 min to 24 h. Analysis for each ...
