Summary The function of solid sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (SS-GFAAS) in the laboratory-internal preparation, production and standardization of bovine liver reference material is described. Analytical quality assurance was achieved by using a wet digestion decomposition procedure and GFAAS (WD-GFAAS) as well as three different methods of SS-GFAAS. It will be shown, that SS-GFAAS is an adequate and efficacious method of analytical quality control in the production of reference materials. Details are given about the preliminary steps of sample selection and preparation, applying SS-GFAAS both as a screening method and for the detection of contamination during the production of the reference materials. The element contents of the four bovine liver materials measured after decomposition with nitric acid in the open system by GFAAS and also by Flame-AAS, using the ‘slotted tube atom trap’, are compared statistically with the results obtained by SS-GFAAS. In solid sampling analyses three different systems were applied: a solid sampling ZAA-spectrometer with platform-boat, a D2AA-spectrometer with solid sampling graphite tube and platform-drawer and an autoprobe-D2AA-spectrometer with solid sampling autoprobe and graphite tube.
