aFlame: Fuel-lean air-acetylene.
Graphite furnace: 20--,uL sample, argon sheath gas, conventional graphite tube. Furnace sequence: (1) Dry for 20 s at 110° C. (2) Char for 25 s at 250° C. (3) Atomize for 5 s at 2,100° C with 1 s ramp to temperature. Interrupt gas flow (default to 50 mL/min with the model 2100 HGA).
