Microwave sample preparation of asphalt samples for R&D and Q&C laboratories
20 Sept 2024To accurately determine the composition of the elements in asphalt, it is essential that the sample be broken down into the smallest possible particles and completely digested with concentrated acid during sample preparation. Many microwave instruments have difficulty completely digesting these types of samples. Explore how ETHOS™ UP, a high-performance microwave digestion system, in conjunction with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), is able to completely digest these samples.
