The price paid for this decrease in analysis time is a modest increase in the total error of analysis.Zief and Mitchell (22), among others, have clearly stated the need for an analytical laboratory handling a diversity of analytical problems to have available highly accurate, in addition to fast (less accurate) analysis methods. Depending on the requirements of the analytical problem at hand, speed or accuracy may be of greater importance. We feel that the general method of slurry-injection atomic absorption, because it uses relatively inexpensive and widely available commercial instrumentation, is a viable analytical alternative when speed
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.
