[Atom-absorption spectrometry in studying of Vipera lebetina obtusa venom].
The aim of the investigation was to work out the atom-absorption spectrometry method for definition of elementary structure of snake venom. The investigation was conducted on venom vipers, caught in the Gobustan district. Determination of heavy metals in venom vipers, was conducted by means of atom-absorption spectrometry (Perkin-Elmer AAS-300). The concentration of the following metals in samples of Vipera Lebetina obtusa venom was defined: Cd (0,012%), (1,234%), Fe (0,487%), Cr (0,171%), Zn (0,78%). The obtained data by means of proposed method of definition of heavy metals in samples of snake venom can be applied to standardize the snake venom, to establish the authenticity in a forensic medical examination, in analyses of medication on the basis of snake venom.
