title: Direct analysis of lead in fruit juice by anodic stripping voltammetry with no prior sample preparation.
abstract: A method is presented for determining lead in fruit juice in less than 3 min after instrument calibration. The range examined is 0.01 to 1.3 ppm lead. The method is compared with 3 other methods in general use. Standard error of estimates between the methods compared range from 0.023 to 0.051 ppm for a set of 50 samples and from 0.037 to 0.091 ppm for a set of 9 samples. Regression correlation coefficients between methods range from 0.968 to 0.995. Judged by the comparisons, the direct method is precise and accurate over greater than a 100-fold range of lead concentrations.
