| * If sampling by method 5030
(not preferred) collect the sample in a 4 oz. glass jar with no headspace
then cool to 4oC. |
|
|
|
|
|
| * If sampling by method 5035
(preferred) collect a 5 gram sample for low level analysis in each of 3 -
40ml glass VOA vials with Teflon lined septa then freeze the samples ASAP.
For high level analysis collect a 5 gram sample in each of two preweighed
40 ml VOA vials that have 10 ml of methanol already in the vial then cool
to 4oC. |

| 1 - This does not
include the volume necessary to perform MS/MSD analyses. Include
additional sample (normally 3 times the quoted volume or mass) for each
sample requiring an MS/MSD. This extra sample volume should always be
included for at least one sample in sample sets of 5 or greater. Contact
the laboratory for more information. |
| 2 - For reporting
results in dry weight a total solid analysis must be included. Be sure to
collect a sample for total solids. |
