Key points
- Ten principles are presented as a roadmap for developing greener analytical methodologies.
- Key aspects include safe solvents/reagents, renewable/recycled materials, waste minimization, and energy efficiency.
- GSP also focuses on high sample throughput, miniaturization, procedure simplification/automation, and operator safety.
- Application of green metrics is crucial for assessing the 'greenness' of sample preparation methods.
- GSP is presented as a guiding principle for sustainable development, not a new subdiscipline.

Abstract
The ten principles of GSP are presented with the aim of establishing a road map toward the development of overall greener analytical methodologies. Paramount aspects for greening sample preparation and their interconnections are identified and discussed. These include the use of safe solvents/reagents and materials that are renewable, recycled and reusable, minimizing waste generation and energy demand, and enabling high sample throughput, miniaturization, procedure simplification/automation, and operator's safety. Further, the importance of applying green metrics for assessing the greenness of sample preparation methods is highlighted, next to the contribution of GSP in achieving the broader goal of sustainability. Green sample preparation is sample preparation. It is not a new subdiscipline of sample preparation but a guiding principle that promotes sustainable development through the adoption of environmentally benign sample preparation procedures.
