  • Title: Sensitivity enhancement in flame atomic absorption spectrometry for determination of copper in human thyroid tissues.
    Author: Yaman M, Akdeniz I.
    Journal: Anal Sci; 2004 Sep; 20(9):1363-6. PubMed ID: 15478350.
    Abstract:
    Various designs of quartz tube in a slotted tube atom trap were examined for improving the sensitivity of flame AAS. A 3.5-fold enhancement in the sensitivity was obtained by using the optimized method. The method was applied to the determination of Cu in cancerous and non-cancerous human thyroid tissues. The Cu concentrations of the cancerous samples tended to increase compared with the non-cancerous samples. Zn concentrations of the same tissues were also determined.
