Free short course sponsored by the IUPAC project 2021-015-2-500, open to all registered participants of EuSP2024|GSAC2024. The course will explore the use of the AGREEprep metric tool for evaluating the greenness of sample preparation methods. There are no fees to attend this course. A limited number of places are available and will be allocated on a “first-come, first-served” basis.

Instructors: F. Pena-Pereira, J.L. Benedé

Content:

1. Elucidation of the concept of Green Sample Preparation

2. Requirements of metric tools for the assessment of the green profile of sample preparation methods: Introduction of AGREEprep

3. An overview of the IUPAC Project on the Greenness of official standard sample preparation methods

4. Exemplification of AGREEprep metric tool to assess the greenness of official standard sample preparation methods

5. Practical work and Q&A

Expected outcomes:

By the end of this workshop, participants are expected to:

1. Acquire relevant knowledge on the principles of Green Sample Preparation;

2. Learn the metric tools available for evaluating the greenness of sample preparation methods and elucidate their differences;

3. Identify the ideal requirements that these metric tools should present depending on the method to be evaluated;

4. Accurately apply one of these tools (i.e., AGREEprep) in the assessment of the greenness of sample preparation methods by selecting the appropriate items and values
