Sample Preparation

Sample preparation is often the first step in a complex workflow with many consecutive steps.
But it is also the step to spoil or lose the sample due to wrong treatment.
Sample preparation to analyse a compound or many compounds is essential for many processes:

  • Extraction of samples from a matrix
  • Removal of matrix or contaminations
  • Enrichment of compound classes
  • Enrichment of single compounds
  • Modification of compounds for the analysis, especially for GC-MS

and many more. There are many different methods for sample preparation, like liquid-liquid phase extraction or solid-phase extraction.

The method has to be developed and optimised for the analyte.
