Graphite furnace employs temperature programming to produce elemental vapor.
the program begins by raising the furnace temperature to initiate where water is removed from the sample.
next, the temperature of the furnace is then raised to begin the process, where organic material is removed.
the temperature of the furnace is raised again to the sample, creating the elemental vapor required for spectroscopy.
