Description:
Sample preparation is, and will always be, the most important step in chemical analysis. Numerous techniques, methods, methodologies, and approaches are published in the literature, offering a wide range of analytical tools to the lab practitioner. Analytical scientists all over the world are committed to developing protocols for a plethora of analytes in various sample matrices. In the past decade, advances in sample pretreatment has followed the demand for green chemistry and green analytical chemistry, focusing on miniaturization and automation, using the least possible amount of organic solvents. The question is, how far have we come, and what are the future perspectives?
Analytical chemists are invited to share their experience in the field and report on the recent advances in sample preparation approaches.
