Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You extracted 2.5 micrograms of analyte from an environmental sample. If the initial concentration was expected to be 100 micrograms, calculate the recovery percentage. How does this impact your method's reliability?
💡 Hint: Use the formula for percentage recovery.
Question 2
In a solid sample, you suspect matrix interference. Your extraction yields varying amounts of the analyte. How would you modify your method to minimize this effect?
💡 Hint: Think about known methods that reduce matrix effects.
