Sample Collection Instructions

Collect your samples in very clean, 125 ml (4 oz) or larger plastic bottles.  Single-serving drinking water or mineral water bottles or plastic bottles found at camping supply stores work well for this purpose.  Please, no glass--glass breaks during shipping.

Rinse the bottles thoroughly in the sample water to remove any residue from previous use.  Fill the bottles, being careful to avoid (if possible) introduction of solid materials, and close them under water to eliminate all gas bubbles.  Seal the bottles tightly.Send It By Air
