When preparing a sample for analysis that requires high temperature and pressure in an acidic environment, a scientist selects microwave digestion for the process. This attracts scientists from an extraordinarily large range.
Get fun facts about microwave sample prep, a list of questions to ask when buying a microwave sample prep system, the most recent microwave sample prep product releases, and an updated microwave sample prep product manufacturer's list in this section.
Microwave digestion in concentrated acid reliably eliminates sample matrix while rendering metals to species appropriate for analysis by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry or atomic absorption.
