A reference notebook of microwave applications
17 Mar 2023Sample preparation is one of the most critical steps in the analytical process, and it has a fundamental impact on laboratory throughput and analytical performance. Any errors within the sample preparation process will undermine the quality of data at all subsequent stages of analysis. In this application note, PerkinElmer has provided the tools needed to develop digestion methods quickly and efficiently for unique sample preparation using the MPS 320™ Microwave Digestion System. These applications represent starting points for successful digestions and may require modification for specific samples.
