A Laboratory Guide to Graphite Furnace Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy (Biomethods)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Graphite furnace AAS is one of the most widely used techniques for elemental ultratrace determinations, but other than 20 years ago it is a method for routine applications and no longer for research purposes. The laboratory guide therefore is written predominantly for the technician who has to provide reliable, accurate and well validated and documented data in an environment of increased pressure on fast and economical analysis. In 6 chapters the book provides a profound but practical inside into the physical and technical background of the technique and its perfect use for the daily routine. One focus is to always keep the aim of the analysis in mind while developing a method and to avoid pitfalls on the way to an automated procedure. The critical questions and dialogues of a laboratory manager and her application chemist guide the reader from sample pretreatment via calibration and validation of the instrument to the accessories and software packages of modern graphite furnace AAS. The author has been involved in basic and application research as well as in user training courses and technical support for almost 2 decades. Chapter 7 of the laboratory guide is therefore an "exciting voyage through the world of matrices and challanges". In this chapter model analyses from the field of environmental, biological and industrial analyses are discussed. These are performed with the most recent instrumentation- simultaneous GFAAS- and accessories. Besides the technician, the laboratory manager as well may wish to follow the advice of her or his clever colleague in the book: open the "laboratory guide" if you think you need advice!
