Abstract
A method for the determination of phosphorous in soil by use of a robo tic station is proposed. The overall process involves automation of st eps such as weighing, leaching, filtration, derivatizing reaction, mea surement, data collection, and treatment. Also, the preparation and me asurement of standards for calibration are developed by the robot. The results provided by the proposed method are highly consistent with th ose obtained by using the standard manual method. Its throughput is 4 samples h-1.
