Microwave Digestion of cold and flu medicine

A sample preparation method to determine trace elements in cold and flu medicine (Grippostad C) is introduced below. The samples containing paracetamol, chlorphenamin, ascorbic acid, coffein and various other ingredients are digested using speedwave XPERT in DAK-100 vessels. During the digestion, the reaction temperature is controlled via contactless in-situ temperature sensor (DIRC) to ensure efficient digestion.
