Sample Handling in Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry:

In principle, a sample in solid, liquid or within the gas phase could be analysed by flame AAS. Thus, in most cases, sample analysed through AAS is within the solution form. thus, the solid sample is first dissolved and converted within a solution. Solids could be analysed straight also through using an electrothermal furnace. The gaseous samples, instead, commonly are pretreated through scrubbing before the resultant solution. Alternatively, the gases might be adsorbed on a solid surface and then leached within solution along with appropriate reagents. Let us learn how the dissolution of the solid sample, and significant step in AAS, is carried out.
