Lyophilized whole blood samples containing various concentrations of Pb and Cd have been prepared as external quality control materials. These materials have been characterized with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry(GFAAS), The optimized conditions for the quantitative determination of Ph and Cd in whole blood using GFAAS were obtained at the ashing temperature of <TEX>$600{\sim}650^{\circ}C$</TEX> with 0.1% ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.1% Triton X-100 as matrix modifier. Homogeniety and stability of the prepared whole blood have been studied at the optimized analytical condition.
