Abstract:
Microwave ovens are useful in rapid moisture analysis systems and preliminary drying to prepare analytical samples. Because of uneven heat distribution reported previously, we compared effects of 20 sample locations in a microwave oven cavity on moisture percentages of six meat and three milk samples. The same two hot spots (high moisture percentages) were noted for meat and milk samples. Microwave moisture percentages did not differ from standard oven drying results for meat samples but were higher (P < .05) for milk. Placing the sample beaker consistently in the same microwave oven location is advocated.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
