Sample Preparation and the Impact on Results

November 11, 2021

Visión general

Sample preparation is an often-overlooked part of the material analysis process, never-the-less it is critical to achieving consistent and high-quality results. Improper sample preparation can lead to poor results or even damage process equipment. This webinar will discuss the importance of sample preparation and different methods for activating samples. Emphasis will be placed on activating samples for analysis in physisorption and chemisorption instruments. Particle size and methods to properly size samples to prevent pressure drop and mass transfer limitations will also be explored. Lastly, a case study comparing the results of properly and improperly prepared samples will be presented.

Topics will include:

  • Methods for sample activation and preparation
  • Techniques to properly size materials to prevent pressure drop and mass transfer limitations
  • Methods to activate and analyze samples with difficult sample prep

Senior Application Scientist

Julian graduated from the University of Michigan with an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering. While attending the University of Michigan he conducted research under the guidance of Prof. Jinsang Kim in organic photovoltaics. He then went on to pursue his PhD at the Georgia Institute of Technology, working in Dr. Krista Walton's research group. His research focused on the adsorption of acid gases in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). After completing his PhD, Julian joined Micromeritics in late 2020. He specializes in physisorption, separations, and porous materials.
