Subcritical fluid nebulizer (ScFN) improves the determination of tin by in atomic absorption spectrometry.
Detection limit by ScFN was 0.008 mg L− 1 increasing the power of detection in 325 compared to FAAS.
ScFN showed that improvements on sample introduction using subcritical CO2 in FAAS are still possible.
ScFN was applied to tin determination in gunshot residues generated after firing four ammunition brands.
