Development of an analytical method for determination of lead and cadmium in biological materials by GFAAS using Escherichia coli as model substance
by Michelle Gende, Martina Schmeling
In this work, an analytical method was developed for the determination of lead and cadmium in biological samples using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was chosen as model substance for this purpose as it is readily available in most laboratories and can be quickly and easily prepared with a high turnaround rate. Four different sample preparation methods were initially evaluated with respect to percent recovery... Читать дальше...
