Abstract :
The automation of a laboratory procedure for the determination of several environmentally important organotin compounds has been accomplished. The analysis methodology utilizes hydride derivatization directly in sea water, yielding volatile mono-, di- and tributyltin species which can be concentrated sufficiently to provide part per trillion (ng/1) detection limits.
