Direct determination of lead in urine by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry with platform atomisation.
A direct method of urinary lead assay by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry is described for routine use in the clinical laboratory. It employs a simple sample pre-treatment procedure preceding automated analysis. Reproducibility, linearity and recovery were satisfactory without the need of standard addition. Mean and reference intervals of normal urine were similar to values reported in the literature.
