I am running low on number of samples, so can i use a single pellet for both density measurement by Archimedes and SEM analysis after drying it? SEM will done on the fractures surface of the pellet.
If you 100% sure that your pellet is clean (free of soluble/organic matter), then there should be no problem.
By the way, why not to perform SEM first and density measurements later?

As long as your density measurement did not impose any structural damage (e.g., cracking or compressing), it should be okay to use the tested sample for SEM. If your previous tests involved merging the pellet in any solvents, make sure you thoroughly cleaned the pellet.
You can use the same sample for SEM Measurement provided you are sure that the sample is not contaminated
If your sample has not been damaged during previous measurement, is clean and dried; I don t see any reason why you shoud nt used it.
If your sample does not exposed to any structural changes, so you can do it, but why you do not SEM firstly.
