Description:
The results of a single-laboratory study of the 'Determination of Beryllium by Flame and Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry', are described. The study examined the application of these two powerful beryllium detection methods to the analysis of selected liquid and solid samples after digestion by appropriate SW-846 methods. Method performance data including detection limits, optimum concentration ranges (linearity), spike recoveries, interferences, precision, accuracy, and optimum operating parameters are presented and discussed.
