[Determination of trace gallium by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry in urine]
1Hunan Prevention and Treatment Institute for Occupational Disease, Changsha 410007, China.
Objective:
To establish a method for determination trace gallium in urine by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS).
Methods:
The ammonium dihydrogen phosphate was matrix modifier. The temperature effect about pyrolysis (Tpyr) and atomization temperature were optimized for determination of trace gallium. The method of technical standard about within-run, between-run and recoveries of standard were optimized.
Results:
The method showed a linear relationship within the range of 0.20~80.00 μg/L (r=0.998). The within-run and between-run relative standard deviations (RSD) of repetitive measurement at 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 μg/L concentration levels were 2.1%~5.5% and 2.3%~3.0%. The detection limit was 0.06 μg/L. The recoveries of gallium were 98.2%~101.1%.
Conclusion:
This method is simple, low detection limit, accurate, reliable and reproducible. It has been applied for determination of trace gallium in urine samples those who need occupation health examination or poisoning diagnosis.
