Heavy Metals Extraction and Analysis in Aquatic Ecosystems with Automated Techniques

The proper choice of a measurement technique is only one step in the development of a successful application. All steps leading up to the measurement are equally important to the sampling and the sample preparation process begins at the point of collection and extends to the measurement step. The sample preparation method used to convert the sample into a form suitable for the measurement step can have a greater effect on the overall accuracy and reability of the results and the measurement itself. Sample preparation is one of the important problems in analytical process. [1] The microwave digestion coupled with ICP MS measurements, for the heavy metals analysis is a very useful tools for the environmental samples.
