Abstract

Studies are presented to characterize a new nebulizer developed for direct atomic absorption analysis of extremely complex clinical and environmental materials. Important parameters are described còncerning the design and performance of "high solids" spectrochemical nebulizers based on the Babington principle. A new simplified design is presented and mechanisms of undesirable sample wastage are considered. Data are presented concerning the effect of impaction on conventional and "high solids" aerosol generation.
