Increased Sensitivity in Measurement of Butyltins in Seawater
Abstract
This study describes modifications to an existing method for measuring n-butyltins that result in greatly increased sensitivity. The absolute detection limits of the cationic species are 80-180 pg. This increased sensitivity, yielding a 0.2-0.4 ng/L environmental detection limit is achieved by using a closed end quartz furnace and silanizing the glass cryogenic trap.
