Sample preparation
In sample preparation, there are many techniques used for sample handling, preparation and storage prior the analysis. Main techniques used in this area are:
- Drying
- Evaporation
- Filtration
- Flash chromatography
- Homogenization
- Humidification
- Immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC for mycotoxines)
- Preparative chromatography
- SPE
- Thermal desorption
- Ultrassonic extraction
Many samples or laboratory techniques require cooling or heating. That is why folowing instruments are used:
- Drying ovens
- Freezers
- Heating blocks
- Incubators
- Refrigerators
- Sterilizers
- Thermostatic cabinets
- Water baths
