| Abstract | Abstract. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy was used for preliminary elemental analysis of chromium containing tablet. Plasma was generated by 532 nm Q- switched Nd:YAG laser. To collect the plasma emission, lens in the body tube was used. This lens focused emission in the optical fiber linked with the entrance slit of an Echelle spectrometer. The emission beam was recorded with an intensified charge-coupled device (iCCD), finally. Laser induced plasma parameters like electron temperature and concentration were determined for the analysis of tablet containing 0,03 mg of chromium in the form of chromium(III) picolinate. A Saha-Boltzmann plot method was used for determination of electron temperature, assuming the local thermodynamic equilibrium. Electron concentration was estimated by Stark broadening mechanism of Hα line (656 nm). Time evolution of electron temperature and concentration were estimated and dependency of intensity on delay was found out for some spectral lines for reaching optimal experimental conditions. Also elemental analysis of the sample was realized. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is a suitable technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical samples and can provide fast and simple analysis with minimal or no sample preparation. |
