The EPA 3052 method, developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), describes a test method for the microwave assimilation system: SW-846 test method 3052: Microwave assisted acid digestion of siliceous and organic-based matrices.

This method is applicable to microwave assisted acid digestion of siliceous matrices, organic matrices and other complex matrices. If a total weathering analysis is required (according to the target analyte list), the following matrices can be decomposed mainly: ashes, biological tissues, oils, oiled soils, sediments, sludges and soils.
This method applies to the following elements: aluminum, cadmium, iron, molybdenum, sodium, antimony, calcium, lead, nickel, strontium, arsenic, chromium, magnesium, potassium, thallium, boron, cobalt, manganese, selenium, vanadium, barium, copper , mercury, silver, zinc and beryllium.
Other elements and matrices may be analyzed by this method if the respective matrices for the analyte of interest are performing at their respective concentration levels.
This method is not suitable for regulatory applications requiring the use of leachate preparations. Other test methods have been identified for these applications.
This method is suitable for research purposes, i.e. applications requiring total separation in response to an arrangement that requires geological studies, mass balances, analysis of standard reference materials, or total sample separation.
In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Microwave absorption system (EPA 3052 method) services are among the numerous tests performed in this context.
