Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite considerable advances in chemical instrumentation, sample preparation remains the most critical step in chemical analysis. In most cases, pitfalls in analytical results are associated with sample preparation, including poor recovery of target compounds and incomplete removal of interferences, to the detriment of method accuracy. The other key problem inherent in sample preparation is analysis time. While the chemical analysis step is itself becoming faster and faster, the limiting step is still the sample preparation, which is often tedious and time-consuming.
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative and smarter analytical sample preparation strategies developed to be cost-effective, simpler, and more sustainable alternatives than conventional approaches.
Our hope is that this Special Issue will significantly impact the research community and encourage colleagues to contribute original research articles or reviews.
Prof. Dr. Fathi Moussa
