A Discussion on Sample Preparation of Water Samples for Analysis of Microplastics

Preparation of water samples for isolation and identification of microplastics can be the most time-consuming part of the analysis. This presentation will focus on preparation of water samples for analysis of microplastics, with an emphasis on the SCCWRP SOP for drinking water, and ASTM D8333 for waste water samples.

Please join us for the next presentation in this series which will highlight Agilent’s turn-key approach for analyzing microplastics using the 8700 LDIR.
