Preservation storage

Ashton and Chan [ 1 ] have reviewed the techniques for the collection of seawater samples preservation, storage, and prevention of contamination are all discussed. The most appropriate measurement techniques, preconcentration and extraction, method validation, and analytical control are all covered. The apparent aluminium content of seawater stored in ordinary containers such as glass and polyethylene bottles decreases gradually, e.g., to half in 2.5 h. But if the samples are acidified with 0.5ml/l concentrated sulfuric acid the aluminium content remains constant for at least one month. Accordingly, samples should be acidified immediately after collection. However, the aluminium could be recovered by acidifying the stored samples and leaving them for at least five hours.

Good preparation for storage is a key to good preservation. Storage preparation should be done only by a responsible, trained caretaker. This gives the caretaker an opportunity to check the condition of the museum fabric, preparation material, and storage units. Under no circumstances should visitors be allowed to prepare fabrics for storage. 

As a consequence of these difficulties, interest in studying in situ concentration techniques with appropriate adsorbents has increased. These methods eliminate the need for preservation, storage, evaporation or coprecipitation of large water samples. One such approach has been described in detail by Crespo et al. (1992). According to the authors MnO and ALOj can be used as absorbents in the assay of the low levels of alpha emitters in the waters. This technology requires more development work before it can become routine. 

Serum is the preferred specimen for gonadotropin measurements hemolyzed, lipemic, or icteric specimens should not be used. Both hormones are stable for 8 days at room temperature and for 2 weeks at 4 °C for longer periods, the serum specimen should be stored frozen at or below -20 C. Because of episodic, circadian, and cyclic variations in the secretion of gonadotropins, a meaningful clinical evaluation of these hormones may require determinations in pooled blood specimens, multiple serial blood specimens, or timed urine specunens. Urine specimens should not contain preservatives storage at or below —20 °C is recommended. 

Sample preparation is an extremely critical step in the course of a speciation analysis, as the original sample has to be transformed into a form which can be subjected to analysis, while the original distribution of an element over its various chemical forms may not be altered. In general, determination of Hg species involves the following steps (1) sample collection/pretreatment/ preservation/storage (2) extraction of Hg from the matrix/cleanup/preconcentration (3) separation of Hg species of interest (4) detection.

Blessing et al. [119] provide a useful review and discussion on potential limitations associated with CSIA of environmental samples, particularly with respect to contaminated site remediation. The authors provide specific recommendations in relation to groundwater sampling, sample preservation, storage, and sample preparation. Potential fractionation effects and considerations during data interpretation are also addressed.

The physical and chemical properties of food products have central roles in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical and food industries. Understanding these properties is essential for engineers and scientists to tackle the numerous issues in food processing, including preservation, storage, distribution and consumption.
