The ten principles of green sample preparation

In a couple of decades, all chemistry will be green chemistry. However, we are not there yet! Analytical chemistry and sample preparation will follow this trend, and will go greener! In a new paper, we define the term “Green sample preparation” for the first time, and link it to the term “green analytical chemistry”. Green sample preparation is important, because sample preparation procedures often consumes significant amounts of chemicals, reagent, solvent, and materials. In this perspective, we expect our latest collaborative paper will play an important role!
