Mastering Geological Sample Preparation: Strategies for Complete Digestion and Low Blanks

Preparing geological samples for elemental and isotopic analysis can be challenging. From silicate rocks to matrices containing resistant minerals, achieving complete dissolution while maintaining low blanks is essential for reliable trace and ultra-trace results. Yet traditional digestion methods can be slow, prone to contamination, or ineffective with refractory matrices.

Join our practical webinar and explore advanced strategies for geological sample preparation using Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) microwave digestion. Through practical examples and digestion guidelines, you will learn how to achieve complete digestion across a wide range of geological matrices, reduce procedural blanks, and simplify your laboratory workflow.

Key Learnings:

• How SRC technology achieves complete digestion across diverse geological matrices
• Practical digestion strategies for rocks, sediments, and mineral ores
• How to reduce blanks and improve productivity and analytical reliability
