COEI-2-SODIUM Determination of sodium by absorption atomic spectrometry

1. Principle

The sodium is determined after mineralisation by dry process by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The addition of a spectral buffer (cesium chloride) to avoid ionisation of sodium is necessary.

COEI-2-SUCSAC Grape sugar: Determination of saccharose by HPLC

1. Principle

The samples diluted or put in solution are analysed by high performance liquid chromatography: Separation on column of grafted silica NH₂ and detection using a differential refractometer.

COEI-2-POTASS Determination of potassium by atomic absorption spectrometry

1. Principle

The potassium is determined by mineralisation by dry process by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The addition of a spectral buffer (cesium chloride) to avoid the ionisation of the potassium is necessary.

COEI-2-PLOMB Determination of lead by atomic absorption spectrometry

1. Principle

After mineralisation of the sample in an acid medium, the lead is determined by spectrometry without flame (electro-thermal atomisation).

COEI-2-NICKEL Determination of nickel by atomic absorption spectrometry

1. Principle

The nickel is directly determined by atomic absorption spectrometry without flame (electro-thermal atomisation).
