Preservation and Containers

All samples should be submitted in appropriate containers and with suitable preservation.  EPA Methods prescribe the appropriate preservation for the analysis to be performed, and ASL is able to provide information on these requirements upon request.  Preservation and filtering are available upon request at additional charge --- Contact ASL prior to submitting samples.

Sample containers for inorganic analyses can be provided --- Contact ASL prior to submitting samples.

For most organic analyses, amber-colored glass containers are required.  The cost of these bottles has been factored into the cost of analysis and are available to clients for no charge if they are returned containing samples to be analyzed.
