"Laboratory of Atomic spectrometry"
Our research areas:
- determination of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr) in different types of environmental samples (water, soils, sediments, sludge) and biological samples (plants, food, body fluids)
- determination of elements generating hydrids (As, Sb, Se) in different types of environmental samples (water, soils, sediments, sludge) and biological samples (plants, food, body fluids)
- speciation of heavy metals and elements generating hydrids in water, soils and sludge
- determination of bioaccessible forms of elements in soils and sludge
Our Instruments:
- Atomic absorption spectrometerPerkin Elmer 1100 B with flame atomizator and electrothermic atomizatorHGA 700
- Atomic absorption spectrometerPerkin Elmer 5100 PC with electrothermic atomizator and "slurry" sampling USS 100
- Atomic absorption spectrometerAnalytik Jena AAS5 EA with electrothermic atomizator and "solid" sampling
- Atomic emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma Perkin Elmer Plasma II
- Atomic absorption spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma Jobin Yvon JY 70Plus
We are focused to solve these following problems:
- determination of As in soils, plants and minerals from Belianske Tatry by HGAAS
- determination of Se in blood serum of children living in Bratislava by ETAAS
- determination of Pb in the bones of the birds living in High Tatras by ETAAS
- determination and speciation of Cr in waters and soils with the application on real samples of waters and water soil leachates
- determination of many heavy metals in plants and moss by FAAS and ETAAS
- determination of heavy metals (Pb, Al) from z chamois grazing-lands by ETAAS a ICP-AES
- determination of Cr in body fluids
