What Factors Should be Considered in Sampling Protocols?
Several factors need to be considered when developing sampling protocols:
1. Homogeneity: Ensure the sample is representative of the entire reaction mixture. 2. Sampling Frequency: Determine the appropriate intervals for sampling to capture the reaction dynamics. 3. Sample Size: Decide the optimal sample volume to avoid perturbing the system. 4. Environmental Conditions: Maintain consistent temperature, pressure, and atmosphere during sampling to prevent altering the sample's characteristics. 5. Contamination: Avoid any potential sources of contamination that could skew the results.
