How to Use a Total Workflow Sample Prep Approach to Optimize Elemental Analysis

Optimizing laboratory operations in elemental analysis is essential for producing accurate results while enhancing productivity, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Conventional sample preparation techniques, such as open-vessel digestion and manual reagent handling, can present problems like contamination, inconsistent digestion quality, and labor-intensive processes.

To address these restrictions, laboratories are increasingly implementing a comprehensive workflow strategy that combines advanced sample preparation technology with automation to streamline procedures.

This book looks into the "Total Workflow" Sample Prep Approach, a complete strategy that improves elemental analysis by addressing critical variables such as contamination control, acid purity, automated reagent handling, optimal digestion, and efficient laboratory equipment cleaning.

By utilizing modern techniques like microwave-assisted digestion, automated dosing systems, and sub-boiling acid purification, laboratories can decrease errors, increase analytical accuracy, and meet demanding regulatory criteria.

This book will also discuss the best practices and practical solutions for optimizing each step of the sample preparation process to provide greater reproducibility, lower detection limits, increased safety, and cost-effectiveness in elemental analysis workflows.

By reading this book, you will: 

  • Look beyond sample digestion and consider the total sample preparation workflow for elemental analysis

  • Discover new approaches for improving your lab’s throughput, quality, flexibility, safety, and costs

  • Find ways to avoid workflow disruptions that have negative effects on your lab’s outcomes
