Sample Preparation: Crushing insights into particle size reduction and homogeneity

Many samples sent for laboratory analysis lack significant homogeneity. Solid samples, by their nature are diverse and heterogeneous but effective and accurate sample analysis depends upon homogeneous samples.

In this webinar, Patricia Atkins, Senior Applications Specialist at Spex, will discuss the science behind particle reduction and homogeneity as well as how the process and selection of equipment and methods can influence sample results for the chemical, microbiological and molecular biological industries. The best practices for sample handling will be examined as well as the pitfalls which can detrimentally effect sample result accuracy.

Key learning objectives

• Understand the theories of particle reduction and homogeneity
• Learn the decision process for selecting equipment and conditions for sample processing equipment
• Recognize sources of error or contamination which can alter sample results from sample processing
• Understand how process, method and conditions considerations change sample processing outcomes

Who should attend?

Chromatographers, spectroscopists, QC analysts, sample preparation scientists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, and any scientist involved in sample particle reduction and homogeneity.

Certificate of attendance

All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.
