SAMPLE PREPARATION WORKSHOP
Introduction
This workshop will introduce the principles of sample preparation and its importance for reliable reproducible analysis. Exploiting the usage of solid phase extraction as an effective method to clean and trace enrichment of the obtained sample. This will help you to obtain a great deal of knowledge on the importance of the sample preparation and on how to choose the appropriate method to get the information needed out of your sample through its analysis using various chemical instrumentation.
Particularly, we should focus here on the applications related to Food sciences/ Pharmaceutical and clinical studies as these are the growing market segment in this region. The objective is to utilize efficiently your laboratory instrument by gaining the knowledge required for successful development of sample preparation methods.
