Abstract:
A procedure is described for the determination of aluminium in peritoneal dialysis fluids. It is based on Zeeman corrected graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry employing stabilised temperature platform furnace (STPF) conditions. The samples are analysed after dilution 1 + 1 without pretreatment. The limit of detection of the procedure is 1.5 mug l(-1), and the accuracy and precision were found acceptable. A screening survey showed that aluminium contamination of peritoneal dialysis fluids is not a general problem, but that exceptions to this do occur.
