Explain atomic absorption spectroscopy

Reference no: EM13146124

a blood sample needs to be analysed for metals (obtained using a standard Vacutainer) using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). What steps do you think need to be taken to prepare the blood sample so that it will be amenable to this type of analysis? In this case, flame AAS will be used, and it requires that the sample be a homogeneous solution with a pH of 0.
