Specific Text Resources

A Practical Guide to Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, D. J. Butcher and J. Sneddon, Wiley, NY, ISBN: 0-471-12553-9, 1998.

General information from the publisher's web page: Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS) is an established analytical laboratory technique used to examine materials in their vapor state by atomizing the sample in a graphite furnace. This approach is used mostly in the materials science and environmental analysis to examine alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, and wastewater. The book represents a simple, concise handbook for the wide range of scientists who use this popular and versatile technique. Featuring numerous practical applications, operation tips, and equipment reviews, this title contains enough practical detail for seasoned professionals seeking to get more out of their atomic absorption techniques, while including basic principles and histories to interest beginning scientists or students.
