837 COPPER IN WATER BY GRAPHITE FURNACE
By Special Request
Quantitative measurement of Copper concentration in water by Graphite Furnace.
Summary: This method quantitatively measures the concentration of copper in water samples by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS). The method has a detection limit of approximately 0.1 ug/L for copper. The analysis requires approximately 2.5 mL of sample but 10 mL is requested to allow for quality control samples. Samples should be refrigerated and acidified until delivery to the lab.
