摘要
The contribution of various factors (instrumental, working conditions, the use of subsamples of 1-2 mg and the direct atomization of solids) to the total variance on the determination of metals in organic solid samples by ETAAS has been studied using four different samples. The lack of homogeneity of the small subsamples used, which is not always improved by reducing particle size, appears to be the main cause of the high RSD values obtained, to such an extent that the influence of the other factors studied appears irrelevant. The technique, which pro,ides results in accordance with the amount of analyte introduced into the atomizer, is perfectly suitable for controlling the homogeneity of certified reference samples or any other material, although its use as a conventional method of determining metals makes it necessary to carry out several measurements in order to obtain sufficiently reliable results.
