Determination of Cd in Honeysuckles by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

OBJECTIVE The Cd in honeysuckles was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. METHODS The best conditions were confirmed by the investigation of ashing temperature, atomization temperature. RESULTS Cadmium (Cd) were detected in honeysuckle, three batches of honeysuckles were beyond the limit stipulated in the Chinese pharmacopoeia 2010 edition. CONCLUSION The method is simple, fast, reproducible, high sensitive and accurate.
