Electrothermal atomizer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013067",
  "term": "Electrothermal atomizer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device used in atomic absorption or emission spectrometry that rapidly heats a small sample to high temperatures, typically in a graphite furnace, to convert it into an atomic vapor. The sample is introduced into a graphite tube, which is then resistively heated through a programmed temperature ramp. This method offers high sensitivity for trace element analysis.",
