On-line bidirectional electrostacking of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) for flame atomic absorption spectrometry determination
2000
Abstract An on-line bidirectional electrostacking-flow injection-flame atomic absorption spectrometry method has been developed for the simultaneous separation, pre-concentration and determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). The electrostacking-flow injection unit was established, the pH and components of the support buffer and sample medium were investigated. Results indicated that the ionic mobility, electric field strength and sample area cross-section are the main influence factors on the electrostacking. The calibration range for both, Cr(III) and Cr(VI), was from 20 to 400 μg l −1 . The limit of detection was 7 μg l −1 for three-times the standard deviation of blank values using a electros…
Copper, iron, and zinc contents in human milk during the first three months of lactation: A longitudinal study
2000
The aim of the study has been to analyze the evolution of copper, iron, and zinc contents in human milk, from colostrum to the third postpartum month, following a longitudinal design, under specific conditions of sample collection and to apply an analytical procedure previously optimized to reduce any variation outside physiological lactation. The copper, iron, and zinc concentrations in 144 milk samples from 39 healthy puerpera women, were analyzed in five stages by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, following a standardized protocol. Copper presented a gradual decrease from 0.38 mg/L to 0.19 mg/L by the 90th day; the particular analysis from colostrum to transitional milk manifested th…
