Microwave laboratory workstation for various applications and greener workflows (English)

In current elemental analysis workflows, sample preparation plays a crucial role, with dilution and extraction remaining an important step to ensure both laboratory efficiency and analytical accuracy. Microwave dilution in closed vessels has become the gold standard in thousands of laboratories across various sectors and is recognized for its reliability, safety, and ease of use.

Analytical laboratories are increasingly expected to reduce the environmental impact of their operations while simultaneously maintaining high data quality, productivity, and regulatory compliance. Since sample preparation plays a crucial role in reagent consumption, waste generation, and energy consumption, it is important to use sustainable solutions without compromising efficiency and accuracy.

In this presentation, we explore how modern microwave techniques enable greener sample preparation by reducing the consumption of acids and solvents, minimizing waste, shortening digestion and extraction times, and improving safety.
