摘要
The integration of a wet analysis system on a glass chip was demonstrated and determination of Co(II) was performed using this system. The Co(II) was extracted into m-xylene from aqueous solution as 2-nitroso-1-naphthol chelates, and colorimetric determination of the: m-xylene phase was applied by a thermal lens microscope. The integration of the chemical operation procedures shown here leads to a considerable reduction in analyzing time. The time for extraction in the integrated system, 10 min, was about tenfold shorter than a conventional system using a separatory funnel and mechanical shaker. Moreover, troublesome operations such as phase separation necessary for the conventional system could be omitted. The determination of Co(II) in the range 2 × 10 -1 × 10 M, which was estimated to be 0.072-1.44 zmol, was achieved.
