The design and installation of a cold trap system is described specifically with reference to its use in ameliorating analysis for low atomic number elements. This trap has been mounted aon an A.R.L. EMX instrument and its use in the analysis of carbon has been investigated. This paper also discusses the metallurgical and metallographic preparation of standards for carbon analysis along with matrix correction procedures for quantitative analysis.
