Graphite furnace employs temperature programming to produce elemental vapor.
The program begins by raising the furnace temperature to initiate ______________, where water is removed from the sample.
Next, the temperature of the furnace is then raised to begin the ________________ process, where organic material is removed.
The temperature of the furnace is raised again to ________________ the sample, creating the elemental vapor required for spectroscopy.
