Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a technique for determining the concentration of a particular metal element in a sample. Atomic absorption spectroscopy can be used to analyze the concentration of over 62 different metals in a solution.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).pptx
Pharmaceuticals: In some pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, minute quantities of a catalyst used in the process (usually a metal) are sometimes present in the final product. By using AAS the amount of catalyst present can be determined.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is a spectro analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements by free atoms in the gaseous state.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on absorption of light by free metallic ions.
In analytical chemistry the technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element (the analyte) in a sample to be analyzed. AAS can be used to determine over 70 different elements in solution, or directly in solid samples via electrothermal vaporization
Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is an analytical technique that measures the concentrations of elements.
Atomic absorption is so sensitive that it can measure down to parts per billion of a gram (µg dm–3 ) in a sample.
The technique makes use of the wavelengths of light specifically absorbed by an element. They correspond to the energies needed to promote electrons from one energy level to another, higher, energy level.
Atomic absorption spectrometry has many uses in different areas of chemistry.
Clinical analysis : Analysing metals in biological fluids such as blood and urine.
Environmental analysis: Monitoring our environment – eg finding out the levels of various elements in rivers, seawater, drinking water, air, petrol and drinks such as wine, beer and fruit drinks.
The technique makes use of the atomic absorption spectrum of a sample in order to assess the concentration of specific analytes within it. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between the measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the [Beer–Lambert law].
The electrons within an atom exist at various energy levels. When the atom is exposed to its own unique wavelength, it can absorb the energy (photons) and electrons move from a ground state to excited states.
The radiant energy absorbed by the electrons is directly related to the transition that occurs during this process.
Furthermore, since the electronic structure of every element is unique, the radiation absorbed represents a unique property of each individual element and it can be measured.
An atomic absorption spectrometer uses these basic principles and applies them in practical quantitative analysis
A typical atomic absorption spectrometer consists of four main components:
Atomization
Light source,
Atomization system,
Monochromator &
Detection system
Atomization can be carried out either by a flame or furnace.
Heat energy is utilized in atomic absorption spectroscopy to convert metallic elements to atomic dissociated vapor.
The temperature should be controlled very carefully for the conversion of atomic vapor.
At too high temperatures, atoms
Atomic emission spectroscopy In Pharmacy Education ppt
Atomic emission spectroscopy is a technique used for elemental analysis. It works by vaporizing a sample which causes the atoms to become excited and emit photons of light of characteristic wavelengths as they fall back to lower energy states. The instrumentation includes a sample atomizer, monochromator to select wavelengths, and detector. Common components are inductively coupled plasma, flame, or electrothermal atomizers; diffraction grating or prism monochromators; and photomultiplier tubes or photodiodes as detectors. Applications include analysis of metals in pharmaceuticals, rocks, oils, and other materials.
Atomic absorption spectroscopy
Atomic absorption spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the concentration of elements by detecting the amount of light absorbed by atoms in the gaseous state at specific wavelengths. It works by vaporizing and atomizing samples using a flame or graphite furnace, then measuring the absorption of light from a hollow cathode lamp at characteristic wavelengths. The instrument consists of a light source, atomizer, monochromator, detector, and readout system. Calibration curves of concentration versus absorption are used to determine unknown concentrations in samples. Potential interferences can affect the analysis and must be minimized. Atomic absorption spectroscopy has various applications in fields like metallurgy, pharmaceutical analysis, and biochemical analysis.

The document discusses the history, principle, instrumentation, interferences, calibration curve, and applications of atomic absorption spectroscopy. It also provides examples of experiments including determining vanadium in lubricating oil and lead in contaminated soil.
flame photometry (1).pptx
Flame photometry uses the principle that metal ions emit light of characteristic wavelengths when excited by a flame. The intensity of light emitted is proportional to the concentration of metal ions. In flame photometry, the sample solution is nebulized and atomized in a flame, causing the metal ions to emit light. A filter selects the characteristic wavelength, which is detected and its intensity measured, allowing determination of the metal ion concentration. Flame photometry is used to analyze samples for concentrations of ions such as sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium.

The key components are a hollow cathode lamp light source, nebulizer, atomizer such as a flame or graphite furnace, monochromator, and detector. Samples are atomized and light absorption is measured to generate a calibration curve to determine unknown concentrations in samples. It is widely used in environmental, food, and pharmaceutical applications.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

- 2. CONTENTS ▪ Introduction ▪ Principle of AAS. ▪ Instrumentation ▪ Sample preparation ▪ Applications. ▪ Role in forensic science
- 3. INTRODUCTION ▪ Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in samples. ▪ It is very reliable and simple to use. ▪ It can analyze over 62 elements ▪ It also measures the concentration of metals in the sample. ▪ Elements detectable by atomic absorption are highlighted in pink in this periodic table
- 4. Principle: • In gaseous state atoms absorb ultraviolet or visible light and make transitions to higher electronic energy levels. • The wavelength of each transition is specific to each element – qualitative analysis • Beer-Lambert’s law can be applied to find concentrations using a calibration graph prepared from standards • Absorbance is directly proportional to path length and concentration Instrumentations: 1. Hollow Cathode Lamp 2. Nebulizer 3. Atomizer 4. Monochromator 5. Detector
- 5. 1. Hollow Cathode Lamp: • Hollow Cathode Lamp is the most common radiation source in AAS. • It contains a tungsten anode and a hollow cylindrical cathode made of the element to be determined. • These are sealed in a glass tube filled with an inert gas (neon or argon). • Each element has its own unique lamp which must be used for that analysis. 2. NEBULIZER: • Suck up liquid samples at controlled rate. • Create a fine aerosol spray for introduction into flame. • Mix the aerosol and fuel and oxidant thoroughly for introduction into flame.
- 6. 3. ATOMIZER • Elements to be analyzed needs to be in atomic sate. • Atomization is separation of particles into individual molecules and breaking molecules into atoms. This is done by exposing the analyte to high temperatures in a flame or graphite furnace. There are two type of atomizer. Such as: 1. FLAME ATOMIZERS 2. GRAPHITE TUBE ATOMIZERS Flame Atomizer Graphite tube Atomizer
- 7. 4. MONOCHROMATOR • This is a very important part in an AA spectrometer. It is used to separate out all of the thousands of lines. • A monochromator is used to select the specific wavelength of light which is absorbed by the sample, and to exclude other wavelengths. • The selection of the specific light allows the determination of the selected element in the presence of others. 5. DETECTOR • The light selected by the monochromator is directed onto a detector that is typically a photomultiplier tube, whose function is to convert the light signal into an electrical signal proportional to the light intensity. • The processing of electrical signal is fulfilled by a signal amplifier. The signal could be displayed for readout, or further fed into a data station for printout by the requested format.
- 8. Sample Preparations: • Dilution – sample is diluted in distilled water, acids or organic solvent • Decomposition – isolation of required element from the sample by heating with/without a reagent – Wet/acid decomposition (300C) – Dry ashing (400-500C) - destroying the combustible portion of the sample. Oxidizing agents may be used – Microwave decomposition (100-200C) – sample decomposed at high pressures in a Teflon container • Calibration curve must be prepared using different concentrations of the sample.
- 9. Applications: • Determination of even small amounts of metals (lead, mercury, calcium, magnesium, etc.) as follows: ▪ Environmental studies: drinking water, ocean water, soil. ▪ Food industry. ▪ Pharmaceutical industry. • Examples: ▪ DETERMINATION OF VANDIUM IN LUBRICATING OIL ▪ DETERMINATION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN CONTAMINATED SOIL
- 10. Role in Forensic Science: ▪ Determination of trace elements. ▪ Elemental profiles of biological samples. ▪ Trace elements in artificial fibers. ▪ Determination of the mode of poisoning. ▪ Hair analysis for heavy metal poisons. ▪ Determination of ammunition manufacturers. ▪ Discrimination of objects/Elements.
