Microwave Digestion: The Foundation of Accurate Trace Metal Analysis

In trace metal analysis, even the most advanced instruments cannot compensate for poor sample preparation.

At parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, small errors in digestion can lead to contamination, incomplete recovery, and unreliable results – putting product safety and regulatory compliance at risk.

In this webinar, we explore how microwave digestion ensures fast, reproducible, and contamination-free sample preparation for accurate trace metal analysis.

You will learn how to build robust workflows that deliver reliable results across a wide range of food matrices, from baby food to cocoa and complex processed products.

Key topics:

  • Why sample preparation matters: Impact of digestion on accuracy, recovery, and reproducibility in trace analysis
  • Microwave vs. conventional digestion: Understanding how microwave technology improves efficiency, control, and consistency
  • Key process parameters: The role of temperature, pressure, and vessel systems in achieving complete digestion
  • Ensuring reliable results: Reducing contamination risks, improving safety, and enabling standardized workflows

Join us to improve accuracy, consistency, and confidence in your trace metal analysis.
