| Abstract: | Abstract The Disk-Ended Atomizer (DEA) is a technique for spatially isothermal atomization with an improved temporal isothermality of the atomization zone. It was developed at Sofia University as a continuation of our studies1,2 concerning one of the most important problems of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry - the problem of isothermal atomization. DEA has a simpler design then many other techniques for isothermal atomization (L′vov cuvette3, Woodriff furnace4,5, capacitive discharge technique6, two-step furnaces2,7,8, etc.) and can be readily used with any commercial spectrophotometer. |
