Improved electrothermal determination of aluminum in serum by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
We describe an improved method for determination of aluminum in serum by atomic absorption spectrophotometry with a graphite furnace. Interferences have been controlled and total combustion of the samples achieved by the use of new diluent in a molybdenum-treated graphite tube. The detection limit of this method is 2 microgram/L.
