Zusammenfassung

Eine neuartige Konstruktion für die automatische Atomisierung von einer Sonde wird beschrieben. Die Sonde besteht aus pyrolytischem Graphit und wird vom Ende eines vorerhitzten Rohres (6.5 mm i.D.) mit einem Motorantrieb eingeführt. In bezug auf charakteristische Masse und Präzision werden mit dieser Anordnung Ergebnisse erhalten, die den nach dem konventionellen Verfahren erhaltenen zumindest ebenbürtig sind.

Summary

A new configuration for automatic probe atomisation in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETA-AAS) is described. The sample is atomised from a total pyrolytic graphite probe introduced from the end of a preheated 6.5 mm i.d. atomiser tube using a motor driven cam assembly. This end-entry configuration is shown to provide comparable analytical performance, in terms of characteristic mass and precision, to that obtained using a more conventional front-entry probe device.
