Sample Preparation and Determination in Analytical Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to the Special Issue “Sample Preparation and Determination in Analytical Chemistry”. Sample preparation is a pivotal step in the analytical process and is closely related to the accuracy and sensitivity of subsequent assays. This Special Issue focuses on various sample preparation methodologies, including pre-treatment techniques for solid, liquid, and gas samples, such as extraction, purification, and concentration. It also discusses emerging sample preparation technologies and automation processes designed to enhance analytical efficiency. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. It may include, but is not limited to, the integration of different analytical techniques (such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy) with sample preparation methods.

We would like to provide a comprehensive perspective for the analytical chemistry community, offering the latest research findings and technological advancements. It also presents insights for future research directions, contributing to the ongoing development of sample preparation and determination techniques.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
