Minimizing sample variability requires stringent control over all aspects of catalyst preparation and handling. Strategies include:
Standardizing Raw Materials: Using high-purity, well-characterized starting materials. Optimizing Synthesis Protocols: Developing and strictly following detailed preparation procedures. Environmental Controls: Maintaining controlled environments for synthesis and storage to reduce contamination and other environmental impacts. Replicating Experiments: Conducting multiple preparations and tests to ensure reproducibility. Quality Assurance Procedures: Implementing rigorous QA protocols to monitor and control variability.
