Article Synopsis
- Although dried spot micro X-ray fluorescence (MXRF) is useful for analyzing trace elements, current sample prep methods have long preparation times, poor control over the environment, and potential loss of volatile substances during drying.
- Microwave-assisted drying improves this process by providing better environmental control and reducing volatility due to its unique heating method.
- Testing of two microwave drying apparatuses showed effective recovery of elements from various standard solutions, indicating that these methods could be more efficient for trace analysis sample prep.
