The Metals Analysis Laboratory personnel are responsible for sample preparation. The laboratory will accept samples prepared by investigator's technicians provided that the methodology to be utilized is appropriate as evaluated by the laboratory manager. The clean room is available at no charge for users to prepare their samples for trace metal AA analyses, where the elimination of background contamination is essential. The sample preparation charges do not include the cost of consumables and instrument calibration for flame and graphite AA are included in the sample charges.
