Overview

Microplastic pollution is emerging as a critical environmental issue, and studies have found its presence in the highest mountains and deepest seas. To better understand the spread and impact of microplastics, reliable and accurate analysis is required, from sample collection to preparation and, finally, analysis and reporting.

Our speaker, Dr. Shuhei Tanaka, will explore the following topics while using a recent study of samples collected from the 8km deep Japan Trench:

Optimizing sample preparation in sediments using hydrogen peroxide digestions and density separation techniques.
How to conduct recovery testing as a means of improving accuracy
Using complimentary techniques such as Pyrolysis coupled with GC/MS for analysis of nanoplastics

Key Learning Objectives:

Optimizing sample preparation
Suitability of LDIR for Microplastics analysis
Complimentary techniques for nano plastics analysis

Who Should Attend:

Laboratory managers
Microplastics researchers
Principal investigators
Post Doctoral researchers
Microplastics analysts from commercial, QA, or research labs
