Abstract A collaborative study evaluated the effect of wet vs. dry ashing on the atomic absorption determination of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc in feeds. Ten laboratories analyzed 6 samples. The high relative standard deviations indicate that ashing methods should be further studied.

Abstract An atomic absorption spectroscopic method is described for the quantitative determination of 0.0005–0.01% (5–100 ppm) copper and nickel in tea. After acid decomposition of the organic material, the sample is aspirated into an air-acetylene flame. Radiation at 324.7 nm from a copper hollow cathode is passed through the flame, and the attenuation is measured. The measurement is also made with radiation at 232.0 nm with a nickel hollow cathode. The spectrophotometer is calibrated with known concentrations of copper and nickel in the presence of a matrix similar to that of the samples. The method is applicable to all teas regardless of their geographical origin. Results from 7 collaborators on 6 samples are given. For one sample from 7 collaborators the following mean standard deviations were obtained for 32 determinations: copper 19.5±1.7 ppm and nickel 26.0±1.0 ppm. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract An atomic absorption spectroscopic method is proposed for determination of alkali and alkaline earth metals in Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena (ABTM). Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium were measured. Determination of these metals in the ABTM matrix can be a problem. High dilution of samples eliminates the need for mineralization.
