Event Overview:

Join Spectroscopy for a one-day virtual symposium — Advances in Environmental Analysis: Instrumentation, Methods, and Workflows for Today's Lab — bringing together analytical scientists and industry experts to address the most pressing challenges facing environmental labs today.
This event features expert-led presentations from industry-leading solution providers covering the latest instrumentation and analytical approaches for environmental sample analysis, including elemental analysis, sample preparation, and method development for complex matrices such as water, soil, and sediment.

Who Should Attend

Analytical scientists working in industry, academia, and government who are involved in environmental testing, monitoring, and compliance.

Agenda
Morning session: 11:00 AM EDT | 8:00 AM PDT | 4:00 PM BST

11:00 am EDT Efficient Sample Preparation for ICP Analysis: Environmental Applications including EPA Methods 3051A, 3052, and 3015
Alicia Stell, Market Development Manager, CEM Corporation

Accurate elemental analysis of environmental samples by ICP-OES and ICP-MS begins with effective sample preparation. Microwave-assisted acid digestion provides a rapid, controlled, and reproducible approach for preparing challenging matrices such as soils, sediments, sludges, waters, and other environmental samples for elemental analysis. This presentation will explore the principles and benefits of microwave sample preparation, with a focus on environmental applications and key U.S. EPA methods, including EPA 3051A, EPA 3052, and EPA 3015. Topics will include method selection, sample and acid considerations, temperature and pressure control, vessel technology, contamination prevention, and safe, consistent digestion workflows. Examples will demonstrate how modern microwave digestion systems can help laboratories achieve efficient sample preparation while supporting method compliance and reliable results for ICP analysis.
