Challenging samples: 1. Metal complexes with low volatility are often difficult to analyze when performing atomic absorption measurements because the atomization efficiency is reduced to unacceptably low levels. Devise a strategy or strategies for eliminating the problem of a non-volatile metal complex? Explain how you would do that.
2. Devise a strategy to overcome unwanted ionization of the analyte? Explain what it would be.
3. Devise a general method that can be used to account for the presence of unknown matrix effects.
