4:1 Sample Preparation

Preliminary Issues

The following informa/on about the sample and the analytes may not have been available during the ini/al project planning phase:

The sample - the quan/ty, chemical and physical composi/on and proper/es, handling, safety, stability issues , any special storage preserva/on or handling condi/ons

If li?le or nothing is known about the sample, then it should be submi?ed for key qualita/ve tests such as an EDXRF scan, % ash, and an IR scan.

4:2 Sample Preparation

Preliminary Issues (cont.)

The analytes - the iden)ty, chemical form(s) and approximate concentra)on level(s) of the analytes.

O;en )mes, only the iden)ty of the analytes is known in which case a hypothesis of poten)al or likely forms should be postulated.

Are the concentra)on levels in the wt. %, μg/g, or ng/g level?
