They provide a variety of services including compositional analysis of metals, inorganics, organics and_x000D_
microbiology in water, wastewater, soil and air. As part of their sample processing protocol for quantification_x000D_
of metals, an acid digestion method is required. This process involves the dissolution of elements using strong_x000D_
acids and extremely high temperatures over extended periods of time. Here, we propose to develop a_x000D_
microwave-assisted acid digestion protocol to expedite sample processing. This will be achieved by evaluating_x000D_
the ability of different exposure times and microwave energy levels to accelerate the sample heating process._x000D_
Other considerations include the amounts of sample and acid used to optimize the reaction conditions., program purpose french : E3 laboratories Inc. is an environmental and ecological service provider located in Niagara-On-The-Lake, ON._x000D_
