Question: What does analysing samples involve?

One of my favourite questions @ciara.A analysis involves preparing a sample to get it in a suitable solution. For example blood can not be injected straight into the instruments as it would ruin the machines. So we usually prepare the sample by adding in other chemicals and doing a few things such as centrifugation. Then the sample is added to a solution and then injected to instrument.
