A Continuous Dilution Calibration Technique For Flame Atomic-Absorption Spectrophotometry, Julian Tyson, J. M.H. Appleton

Chemistry Department Faculty Publication Series

Calibration in atomic-absorption spectrometry is achieved by means of a concentration-­gradient chamber using a single concentrated standard solution. Calibration is rapid and extends over the entire working concentration range of the analyte, irrespective of the shape of the conventionally obtained calibration curve. No curve-fitting approximations are involved. With well-designed apparatus, deviations are less than 1%.
