- abstract
- Electrothermal vaporization has served as an alternative sample introduction method in atomic spectroscopy for some time. Typically, electrothermal vaporizers made of graphite, but these devices do not lend well to mass production, are expensive, and require large power supplies for operation. In addition to these structural and operational limitations, they encounter significant matrix interferences when using samples that contain carbide-forming species or have high salinity or organic concentrations.
