osmium and AA machine testing
Submitted by Anonymous on 22 February 2004 - 5:04pm.
Hi. I'm currently involved in researching usage of AA spectrography in determining the levels of precious metals in leaching solutions. I keep finding that osmium lamps are not available for FAAS or GRAAS machines but silly me, I just have to try to understand why. Anybody out there have some info for me?

At the big mining operations they have safe lab environ. after washing the metal(s) with FAAS and/or GRAAS with an osmium lamp aimed at the metal,
