What are the Limitations of Gravimetric Analysis in Nanotechnology?
Despite its advantages, gravimetric analysis has some limitations:
- Sensitivity to Environmental Conditions: Changes in humidity, temperature, and other environmental factors can affect the accuracy of mass measurements.
- Sample Preparation: Ensuring that the sample is free from contaminants and uniformly distributed can be challenging.
- Scale: While gravimetric analysis is sensitive, it may not be suitable for extremely small quantities of material, where alternative techniques like spectroscopy might be more appropriate.
