Is the process of collecting a representative sample for analysis

Sampling

Factors that depend on the sampling method

Chemistry


size


Physical state

What are the treatments for a solid sample

Homogenization

Important factors that affect the sample integrity

Time


temperature


humidity level


sample acidity


oxygen content


exposure to light


selection of container

Three types of sample

Gas


liquid


solid

Sampling methods

Sampling bag


centrifugation


dissolution


accelerated solvent extraction

This sampling technique to fill a bag with ambient air seal the bag and transport it to laboratory gas can be used directly

Sampling bag

Sample place in tapered centrifugation tube and span at high force and forced to the bottom tube liquid is decanted it is slow in depends on settling rate

Centrifugation

Solid samples of installment without chemical change in organic solids may require acid or base to enhance solvation heat maybe required for some sample

Dissolution

Pressurized liquid extraction . Solid samples placed in sealed container and heated to above its boiling point . Extracted on the light is remove and transferred to vial for further treatment

Accelerated solvent extraction

Types of sample matrices

Organic matrices


inorganic matrices

Four types of organic matrices

Volatile


non volatile


semivolatile


biological samples

General principles of sample preparations

Should not lose any analyte best Chemical form for assay must be used


Remove interferences


Do not cross contaminate


If necessary dilute or concentrate the sample

Three different ways to measure the analyte if it contains interfering species

Using a selective analytical technique



perform selective derivatization



Remove the analyte from the sample using a separation or suction process

The solution processes

Dry ashing


oxidative fusion


wet oxidation

Requires high temperature and oxygen to convert the sample into more soluble oxide

Dry ashing

A powerful technique for dissolving difficult sample such as refractories

Oxidative fusion

Requires mineral acids and heat and is carried out in open or closed containers with as much heat as can be tolerated by the container

Wet oxidation
