Before analysis, samples must be prepared so they can be analyzed by the instrument. There are a variety of methods for preparing samples for different applications, from complex processes like microwave digestion to simpler processes like aliquoting samples. Automated sample preparation systems have numerous benefits, such as increasing lab throughput, reducing the margin of error, and minimizing the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

5 Questions to Ask When Buying Sample Prep Equipment:
- How much time are your staff spending preparing samples manually? Could this time be more productively spent on other tasks?
- Are your staff keeping up with daily sample throughput?
- Do you have a consistent throughput of samples prepared the same way every day?
- Which steps in sample preparation would be easiest to automate?
- Are more complex projects being put on hold in favor of sample preparation?
Microwave Digestion
Microwave digestion offers numerous benefits over traditional sample prep methods, such as faster turnaround times, better consistency, and improved safety. While more expensive upfront, the higher throughput and increased productivity that a microwave digester allows may more than justify the cost for your lab.
