New Developments in Microwave Synthesis Monitoring using Raman Spectroscopy

Experts share the best practices for safe, worry-free, and fast food sample preparation when implanting Closer to Zero.

Although microwave digestion reactors have made sample preparation of food samples faster and simpler than traditional methods, there are still significant challenges with preparing food samples for ICP-OES, ICP-MS, or AAS analysis.

Due to the typically low levels of trace metal contamination found in food samples, relatively high sample masses need to be digested in order to even measure the metal content. Additionally, the allowable levels of trace metals are in the process of being further reduced, as detailed in the FDA's 'Closer to zero' initiative. For this reason, the mass of foods samples required for testing will likely increase, thus requiring closer attention to sample reactivities during digestion, and a stronger focus on microwave operator safety.

This webinar will highlight how modern microwave digestion reactors enable fast, safe and accurate digestion of larger samples while simultaneously enabling the sensitivities needed to detect even lower levels of contamination. Best practices for safe, worry-free and fast food sample preparation will round off this practical and actionable webinar.

Preparing for “Closer to Zero”: Best Practices for Food Sample Preparation

https://www.spectroscopyonline.com/spec_w/digestion

Accurate and effective sample preparation is still the key issue for precise analysis with ICP-OES, ICP-MS, or AAS. Although microwave digestion techniques have developed from simple but error-prone systems into a valuable tool for the daily analytical workflow, many users are still struggling during their daily digestion tasks, especially with difficult samples.
This webinar takes you on the tour from an unknown sample to a successful digestion, highlighting the relevant method parameters and practical considerations. Valuable tips & tricks how to avoid common pitfalls during acid digestion experiments will round off this webinar.

Identity testing and chemical analysis in a regulated environment must be able to prove compliance at all times and approach a zero-error target. At the same time, corporate efficiency expectations are to be met. Raman analysis is a fast screening method for both Quality Control checks of incoming goods as well as for Research & Development applications. This webcast will provide an example of a chemical identity analysis solution that:

increases efficiency by eliminating complicated spectroscopy details from the user interface

avoids errors by pre-defining workflows and methods

eliminates user dependence by automating the focus and exposure

provides maximum traceability by comprehensive versioning and signing procedures for methods, reference databases, and results.

Learn how Raman analysis is now user-independent

Learn how to prevent errors before they occur

Learn how to achieve and demonstrate traceability and data security at all times when using Raman spectroscopy in a regulated environment
