Acid digestion is a method of dissolving sample into solution, by adding acids and heating, until the complete decomposition of the matrix.
Anywhere that you need to decompose a sample for release of the analyte, or for analysis of trace metals, acid digestion is much recommended.
It is the ideal companion for ICP, ICP-MS, AA, or AFS instrument.

Typical samples/applications include: Geology (glass, metallurgy (ceramic, stainless steel), environment (waste, soil, ashes…), food, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, biochemistry, and biology (blood, urine…).
