Abstract

In this study a simple micro-tube-based system for analysis of metal-containing liquids is introduced and its analytical performance is evaluated. It is based on a miniaturised dielectric barrier discharge driven at atmospheric pressure. The emission lines of various elements are observed. The system is developed for quantitative measurements and the limits of detection are determined. Because of very low flow rates of just μL min−1 the approach requires extremely low sample volumes.
