This application note describes a graphite tube design that addresses these limitations--with improved sensitivities and detection limits compared to previous tube designs
The document describes a graphite tube design called the Agilent Omega Platform Tube, which addresses limitations of previous designs such as small sample volume and restricted atomization temperature limits. This design features an L'vov platform to delay atomization until the gas environment is stable, preventing condensation and recombination of analytes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that a blood lead level of greater than 10 g/dL (equivalent to 0.48 pmol/L) is of concern.
The instrument settings specify a wavelength of 283.3 nm for the optical lamp.
The Agilent PSD 120 Programmable Sample Dispenser provides the capacity for up to 135 solutions.
