SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SORBATE IN LOW CALORIE SALAD DRESSING WHICH ALSO CONTAINS PROPYL-P-HYDROXYBENZOATE & IN APPLE CIDER. /SORBATE/|SINGLE-EXTRACTION UV SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD.|NIOSH Method: 173. Analyte: Sodium. Matrix: Air. Procedure: Atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This method has a detection limit of 0.0002 and sensitivity of 0.015 ug/ml. The working range for a precision better than 3% RSD/CV is 0.05-1.0 ug/ml. Interference: Spectral, ionization, chemical and physical interferences. /Sodium/|NIOSH Method: 7300. Analyte: Sodium. Matrix: Air. Procedure: Inductively coupled argon plasma, atomic emission spectroscopy. For sodium this method has an estimated detection limit of 10 ng/ml sample. The precision/RSD and the recovery are not determined. Applicability: The working range of this method is 0.005 to 2.0 mg/cu m for each element in a 500 liter air sample. Interferences: Spectral interferences. /Sodium/|For more Analytic Laboratory Methods (Complete) data for SODIUM SORBATE (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
