Use of the Carbon Rod Atomizer for Direct Analysis of Lead in Blood

Norman P. Kubasik 1 and Michael T. Volosin 1

1 Clinical Laboratories, The Genesee Hospital, 224 Alexander St., Rochester, N. Y. 14607.

A method is described for direct analysis of lead in blood utilizing the carbon rod atomizer. Aliquots of whole blood are analyzed without pre-treatment. Results are comparable to those for a similar non-flame technique in which whole blood samples were prediluted with "Triton X-100." The small sample volumes required and the minimal sample preparation further diminish the possibility of spurious contamination.


Key Words: Triton dilution method compared • assay of pediatric samples • lead poisoning • environmental hazards
