Summary

This study evaluated how different preservation, storage, and pre-treatment methods affect microplastic detection accuracy in freshwater samples, identifying which approaches best maintain sample integrity. The findings provide practical guidance for standardizing pre-analysis workflows in freshwater microplastic research.

Study Type Environmental

Sampling, storage, preservation, pre-treatment, and extraction are essential components of microplastic detection. Hence, to obtain an accurate representation of microplastics, it is crucial to carefully choose the most suitable pre-analysis methods.
