1 APPLICATION NOTE OPTIMIZING METALS SAMPLE PREP Utlilizing Single Reaction Chamber (SRC)Technology for Trace Metals Analysis for contract laboratories. Contract analytical laboratories use a variety of instrumentation for trace metals analysis and must take advantage of method standardization whenever there is an opportunity. To ensure high quality data and a standard operation for a variety of industrial samples, these laboratories use microwave digestion for sample preparation before inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) or ICP-mass spectrometry analysis. This tech note describes optimized single-reaction-chamber microwave digestion methods, including vessel selection, sample size, and temperature pro les, along with ICP-OES data. The on-demand priorities and round-the-clock nature of commercial testing laboratories often requires innovative solutions to meet client demand while maintaining high data quality. Laboratory capability has become even more critical with the increased complexity of sample ranges from multiple industries, including consumer products, clinical samples, pharmaceuticals and ne chemicals. A combination of capabilities and diverse instrumentation will allow a contract laboratory to include development and validation of methods for material components such as polymers, metals, foils, inks, adhesives, labels, liners, seals, coatings, toys, food, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Without question, the goal is to nd a exible, easy-to-use sample preparation approach that is coupled with the capability of determining any element over wide concentration ranges. Standardizing multi-element sample preparation to include little or no method development, higher temperature and pressure exibility, the capability of processing mixed sample batches and a variety of acid combinations simultaneously, and the option of disposable vials offers increases in laboratory productivity to match fast analysis turnaround times. Conventional closed-vessel microwave digestion has been recognized for the last two decades as the most effective technique for the digestion of the widest range of sample types in metals analysis, largely because of its ability to operate at high temperatures and pressures. Because the Page 1
2 an intense amount of labor dedicated to vessel cleaning and vessel assembly and disassembly (1). The most signi cant limitation comes from the conventional closed-vessel approach s inability to process incoming samples simultaneously; samples must be batched by sample type and acid combination. Given the high demand of contract laboratory environments, there has been a heavy emphasis on improving the technology for sample preparation. Figure 1. SRC Microwave Digestion digestions are in a closed vessel, cross-contamination and the loss of volatile elements are eliminated (1). Additionally, microwave sample preparation techniques have overcome challenges of poor digestion quality by providing better digests with low residual acidity, lower carbon content and lower concentrations of dissolved solids, a critical feature necessary for back-end inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis (2). It has been recently suggested that an ideal sample preparation procedure would be capable of digesting large sample amounts, provide high throughput, be compatible with multi-element analysis, and be safe, green and easy to use (3). Unfortunately, in the context of commercial high-throughput laboratories, conventional closed-vessel microwave digestion has limitations, such as METHODS AND MATERIALS SRC microwave digestion is a relatively new closed-vessel technology that is different from traditional designs that include multiple closed-vessels inside a cavity (4). The single reaction chamber uses a large, pressurized reaction chamber where all samples are digested simultaneously. Through this approach the chamber itself is the microwave cavity, enabling high microwave energy and distribution. It also provides an opportunity to place multiple vials in the closed system and eliminates the need to rotate samples during a digestion program. The chamber is pre-pressured with inert gas, providing a virtual cap and raising the boiling point of any acids used during a digestion run. The most critical result of pre-pressurization is that it enables different sample types and different acid combinations to be processed in a single operation by placing samples in PTFE, quartz, or disposable glass vials and loading them into an autosample rack set to t the chamber. In addition to the bene ts of mixed-sample batches, no loss of volatile elements, the elimination of vessel assembly and an option of using disposable glass vials, this SRC design can operate at very high temperature and pressure up to 300 o C and 199 bar, respectively. Labs can now digest more dif cult samples with a standardized approach consisting of Figure 2. Schematic ow diagram of SRC microwave operation. Page 2

Mixed batch SRC microwave diigestion run. the following steps: with any incoming sample (mix of easy and dif cult), determine sample weight; choose the type of vial, acid combination, temperature, and time of digestion; and analyze. This tech note details these key criteria for routine use of SRC microwave digestion in a commercial contract laboratory. Detailed review of the capabilities and use can be found in a number of recent accounts (1,2,4). All digestions were developed using an UltraWAVE microwave oven based on SRC design (Figure 1). The UltraWAVE delivers 1500 W of microwave power to a 1L chamber that can hold sample racks with 5, 15 or 22 vessels depending on the sample and volume. Direct temperature and pressure control of the chamber provides direct control of each sample (all samples reach the same temperature and pressure). A schematic ow diagram of the system s operation is shown in Figure 2. The experiments were performed with a 15-position rack and 15 (15 ml volume) disposable glass vials. An icap 6300 duo ICP-OES system composed of an EMT duo quartz torch, cyclonic glass spray chamber, and Burgener nebulizer was used for the analysis of Cd, Cr, and Pb in all packaging sample matrices (for samples digestion with HF, a ceramic torch, alumina injector, and PTFE nebulizer and spray chamber is used). The operating conditions for the ICP-OES system were as follows: RF applied power to the torch, 1.15 kw; auxiliary ow rate, 0.5 L/min; nebulizer ow rate, 0.65 L/min maximum integration time, 30 s, with dual radial-axial view. MICROWAVE SAMPLE PREPARATION Incoming samples for this study included packaging components containing plastics, polymers, printed-paper and cardboard. Routine contract testing also includes food items and enamels, paint and epoxy for commercial jewelry. A microwave method was developed that would provide a complete Typical packaging samples (0.2 g) were placed in disposable glass test tubes and placed in a 15-position rack for the microwave. The samples were treated with a 5 ml nitric acid, 0.5 ml hydrochloric acid combination and the rack placed in the microwave chamber (note: the PTFE liner contains 110 ml of water and 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide as the microwave load for parameter control). Following prepressur ization of the chamber with nitrogen to 40 bar, the samples were digested using the following time-temperature Table I: ICP-OES analysis of a typical mixed packaging sample set; plastics, polymers, printed paper following SRC digestion (0.2 g, nitric acid: 25 min to 250 o C with 15 min at 250 o C.)

4 microwave method: Ramp to 250 o C over 20 min, hold at 250 o C for 15 min, cool to 60 o C and depressurize the chamber for analysis for total time of 50 minutes. To achieve complete digestions for all sample types, two method development digestion runs were performed at 225 o C and 240 o C before the optimized temperature was determined. An example of a typical pro le for the microwave method is shown in Figure 3. All parameters are displayed in real time to ensure high quality, safety, and control. For mixed batches, it is critical that the method account for all sample types. As an example for highly organic samples that are encountered in packaging materials, high temperatures are needed for complete digestion; however, signi cant pressures are generated during the decomposition. During the course of method development for plastic packaging, pressures often reached 100 bar or greater, indicating the importance of choosing conditions that will digest all sample types simultaneously. RESULTS Three separate digestion runs were performed on a variety of mixed packaging samples from commercial sources. Each of the methods described above formed a clear digest, which was diluted with deionized water to 25 ml. These samples were analyzed for Cd, Cr, and Pb using the ICP-OES system. For quality control (QC), laboratory blank,control spikes and duplicates were analyzed as part of ongoing instrument continuing calibration veri cation to go along with periodic sample duplicates. Quantitative data, detection limits, and QC data are shown in Tables I, II, and III. By examining the results, it was easy to determine packaging that required subsequent testing and agging for the customer. Given the high throughput nature of client demand, the standardization of the SRC microwave method aligned well with the use of ICP-OES analysis for a majority of incoming samples. The use of disposable glass vessels, ACS-grade acid and small sample sizes provided a cost effective approach for microwave digestion of ICP-OES analysis. A switch to PTFE or quartz vessels and trace-level acid provides for a path for coupling microwave digestion and ICP- MS analysis for other element panels and lower concentration ranges. CONCLUSION SRC digestion in commercial contract environments for trace metals provided an optimized sample prep method. To achieve complete digestion for all samples ranges simultaneously, an optimized temperature of 250 o C was used following method development iterations at 225 o C and 240 o C. The packaging sample digestions were performed in disposable glass vials to eliminate the need for vessel cleaning in subsequent digestion runs. With a 15 position rack and 50 min digestion time, 3 sets of 12 customer samples, blank, and control spike samples and duplicates were digested and analyzed in a normal working day.
