Back to Basics: The Complete Workflow
The week our team recaps the “Back to Basics” series on Bench Boost. They discuss topics covered in previous episodes, including pipetting, instrumentation, calibration standards, stability, solubility, lab math, detection limits, and plasma fundamentals. Liv highlights the importance of proper sample preparation and pipetting techniques. Thomas explains the selection of appropriate instrumentation like AA, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS, and the necessity of instrument tuning, calibration, and performance checks. Autumn revisits essential lab math formulas and the principles of plasma in elemental analysis. The chemists emphasize that understanding the entire analytical workflow is crucial for obtaining accurate and precise data.
