A novel method is proposed for the extraction-thermal lens quantification of cobalt with Nitroso-R-Salt based on the distribution of the colored complex in a two-phase aqueous system on the basis of poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) and an ammonium sulfate solution followed by its thermal lens detection in the extract. The limit of detection is 0.3 mu M (20 ng/mL); the lower limit of the analytical range is 0.7 mu M (40 ng/mL); the relative standard deviation for the concentrations 1-50 mu M makes 1-3% (n = 6, P = 0.95). In the determination of cobalt by spectrophotometry under the same conditions, the detection limit is 10 mu M (0.6 mu g/mL) and the lower limit of the analytical range is 40 mu M (2.5 mu g/mL). The precision of thermal lens measurements in PEG solutions is higher in comparison to that in aqueous ones because of the weaker interference of convection in aqueous solutions of PEG.
