About

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements using the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on absorption of light by free metallic ions. The technique makes use of the atomic absorption spectrum of a sample in order to assess the concentration of specific analytes within it. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between the measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the Beer-Lambert law. 

Application

  • Clinical analysis: blood samples: whole blood, plasma and serum; Ca, Mg, Li, Na, K, Fe

  • Environmental and water analysis: finding out the levels of various elements in rivers, seawater, soil, air and petrol (e.g. Ca, Mg, Fe, Si, Al, Ba content). 

  • Food analysis and animal feed (e.g. Mn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn). 

  • Analysis of additives in lubricating oils and greases (Ba, Ca, Na, Li, Zn, Mg)
