A focused microwave digestion system operated at atmospheric pressure was applied to the preparation of milk, total parenteral nutrition, tissues (mussel, kidney, oyster and bovine liver) and urine. Reagent combinations (HN03, H2S04 and H202) and power-time programmes were examined with respect to the residual carbon content (RCC) and element recovery. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry was used to determine the residual carbon and analytes (As,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
