Comments
• Solution detection limit for 50-µL sample volume = 0.07 µg L-1.
• A pyrolysis temperature of up to 1100°C can be used for most samples.
• Full Stabilized Temperature Platform Furnace (STPF) performance achieved
for a refractory element such as Ni. Platform atomization at 2300°C showed
virtually no tailing.
