Method:
Internal Standard:
Light source: Flame
Method: Indirect Internal Standard Method

Measures the light absorbed by atoms dissociated by heat.
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
Used for the measurement of unexcited trace metals (calcium & magnesium)
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
More sensitive than FEP; it is accurate, precise and very specific.
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
Principle: element is not excited by merely dissociated from its chemical bond and placed in
an unionized, unexcited, ground state
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS)
Light source:
Interferences:
Light source: Hollow cathode lamp
Interferences: Chemical, Matrix (differences in viscosity) & ionization.
Principle: The unknown sample is made to react with a known solution in the presence.
Volumetric (Titrimetric)
Principle: It determines the amount of ligne blockes (reduction of lighl) by a particulate mater in a turbid solution
Turbidimetry
For measuring abundant large particles (proteins) and bacterial suspensions
Turbidimetry
For measuring the amount of antigen-antibody complexes (proteins)
Nephelometry
Principle: It determines the amount of scatierea lignt by a particulate matter suspended in a turbid solution.
Nephelometry
Is the migration of charged particles in an electric field
Electrophoresis
Buffer and acts as a protein carrier of Electrophoresis
Barbital (pH 8.6)
net charge can either be negative or positive depending on pH condition.
Amphoteric
movement of buffer ions and solvent relative to the fixed solution
Electroendosmosis/Endosmosis
is the migration of small charged ions
Iontophoresis
