Sample preparation is an everyday part ofan Analytical Chemist's workflow and this booksupports researches in optimizing their work, byoutlining the latest preparation techniquesfrom around the globe. Answers are provided to such questions as - How do I automate a procedure? Who are the vendors that offer options? How do I work to reduce matrix interferences? Could I do this procedure on-line instead of in a batch manually? Who are the vendors offering automation options? Who are the 96-well SPE plate manufacturers? What sorbent materials are available in the market? How do I use a cation exchange resin? What has been published on micro-sampling techniques? What is a molecularly imprinted polymer? Can liquid-liquid extraction be used in a plate format? How do I seal microplates after elution? Can I elute analytes in tiny microliter volumes? How do I evaporate eluates in a microplate? How can I use my LEAP auto-sampler to perform sample prep? Which microplate can work with 50 microliter sample volumes? Addressing the workflow pain points of productivity and extraction process efficiency, this bookoutlines exactly how to make methods more productive and how to develop and optimize methods to be as efficient as possible. No other book provides this step-by-step approach coupled with a thorough explanation of the technology, making it the go-to reference book in the field for analytical scientists in industry.
