If there is no significant difference between the slope of the calibration curve in the case of the standard addition method and the external calibration

44、method, the latter can be employed. The calibration function shall consist of a minimum of 3 points including 0. NOTE 1 The date acquisition during the atomisation step can be performed by peak height or peak area measurement. When using platform technique, peak area measurement is recommended. NOTE

45、 2 Too large an injection volume may cause foaming during the drying stage, which may cause poor precision. 6.3.2.2 Standard addition method Determine the linear range of the standard calibration function. It is important that the measurements are made in the linear range when the method of standard

46、 addition is used. A standard addition curve should consist of at least three points of which at least two are standard additions. The concentration of the highest standard should be 3 to 5 times the concentration in the sample solution. The concentration of the lower standard should be half of the

47、highest standard. Plot a graph of the absorbances obtained in this way against the added concentrations and extrapolate the resulting straight line until it intercepts the concentration axis. In the case of AAS instruments with automatic sample injection systems, in which the addition takes place di

48、rectly into the graphite furnace, the determination can be carried out without prior dilution and the risk of contamination will be significantly reduced. 6.4 Analytical quality control For analytical quality control, blank solutions and reference samples having reliably known contents of arsenic to be determined shall be analysed in parallel with all the series of samples analysed according to EN 13804. The reference samples and the blank solutions shall be subjected to all the steps in the method,
