Can anyone provide a detailed protocol for measuring serum concentrations of Se, Cu and Zn using flame AAS? I have found in the literature where it says it is done with AA, but no details on the sample prep etc. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Ha Ha Ha. All these concentrations are low (ppb or ppq). Thus, the authors probably used a special 'graphite furnace' for their AA. I have a book around on GFAAS somewhere (I think).
That's what I am finding. Is this something that can be added to the flame AAS machine or do you need a whole seperate set up? Thanks for your reply.
Depends on your Model of the AA. Many graphite furnaces can be easily mounted or attached.
Please look at the following below links which may help you in your analysis:
