891 TOTAL COPPER IN WATER BY GRAPHITE FURNACE
By Special Request
Quantitative measurement of total copper in water samples by Graphite Furnace.
Summary: This method quantitatively measures the concentration of total copper in water samples by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS). The method has a detection limit of approximately 0.5 ug/L for copper. The analysis requires approximately 25 mL of sample but 100 mL is requested to allow for quality control samples. Samples should be acidified and refrigerated until delivery to the lab.
