SHISHIDO , S. and SUZUKI, T. Mercury in Human Hair: A Comparative Study by Using Two Different Methods of Atomic Absorption and Neutron Activation Analysis. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1974, 113 (4), 351-356 Magos (1971) reported a new method of atomic absorption spectrometry for selective and simple determination of inorganic and organic mercury. To investigate the reliability of Magos's method, the ...

A new, atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for serum iron and iron-binding capacity is described, which utilizes 20% (w/v) TCA plus heating at 90#{176} for 15 mm. This procedure liberates the ferric iron; precipitates the protein, facilitating removal by centrifugation; and avoids significant interferences by contaminating hemoglobin iron. The method is highly specific, accurate, and ha...

The direct chelation-extraction method, originally developed by Hessel (1968) for blood lead analysis, has been successfully applied to urinalysis for manganese. The analyses of 35 urine samples containing up to 100 microgram/1 of manganese from manganese-exposed workers showed that the data obtained by this method agree well with those by wet digestion-flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry...

The Thermo Scientific iCE 3000 Series Atomic Absorption Spectrometers are the ideal tool for the accurate and rapid determination of multiple trace elements in rice products. Flame atomic absorption can be used as a fast screening tool for the analysis of nutritional elements such as copper, manganese and zinc, while graphite furnace atomic absorption can be used for the accurate determination ...

This study is focused on the evaluation of zinc oxide properties and behavior at commercially available cosmetic ingredients by in vitro methods of dermal absorption of zinc oxide and its subsequent chemical determinations. Two methods for determination of ZnO were used and the results were compared. The spectrophotometric method (SPM) was selected for its sensitivity and atomic absorption spec...

In order to discuss the atomization process of an analyte element occurring in a graphite furnace for atomic absorption spectrometry, we measured variations in the characteristic temperature with the progress of an atomization stage, by using a two-line method under the assumption of a Boltzmann distribution. For this purpose, iron was chosen as the analyte element. Also, the atomic absorption ...

We review an atomic resolution imaging method based on the analysis of the fine structure in X-ray absorption anisotropy, which results from incident beam diffraction. For a polychromatic X-ray beam, due to the suppression of higher order diffraction fringes, X-ray absorption anisotropy patterns can be interpreted as distorted real-space projections of the atomic structure around absorbing atom...

introduction: recent investigations have detected the presence of significant levels of heavy metals (chromium, lead and cadmium) in toys and other pvc products manufactured for children. in some countries, addition of compounds containing toxic metals to toys are limited or prohibited. methods: to evaluate the safety of some of the plastic toys in the city of isfahan with respect to toxic trac...

an efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction basedon solidification of floating organic drop (dllme-sfod), combined with flame atomicabsorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amountsof cobalt in water samples. in this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and1-undecanol was injected rapidly into the aq...

current study was done to determine the concentration of heavy metals including lead and cadmium and nutrients element copper and zinc in a simple and whole wheat macaroni in the valid different supermarkets in the city of tehran. 254 samples from seven iranian simple macaroni , four foreign simple macaroni and two iranian whole wheat macaroni were purchased consecutively in 3 seasons of 2015. ...
