9 Analytical Challenges Sample treatment developments Decision about the analytical procedure: Usually working with blind samples (no information about the composition or the likely migrants). What is the target? Identification of unknowns Origin of the migrants: responsibility!! Low concentration of many migrants Complex analysis of food Analytical artifacts
