THGA Graphite Furnace AA – Automatic Matrix Modification for Improved Analytical Quality and Sample Throughput
17 May 2012The matrix modification technique is a very important feature in the concept of interference-free trace metal determinations. Applying this technique, the chemical forms, and thereby the physical properties, of the element under study and/or the matrix, can be changed by adding a suitable reagent in excess to the sample and standard reference solutions. This note provides detailed information on how to prepare the most common matrix modification solutions.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.
