The most critical step in any analytical program is the initial sample collection – great care must be taken to ensure the sample collected is truly representative of the source. If contamination occurs during sampling (introduction of air, moisture, etc.), the final analytical results will be worthless. Samples submitted to Atlantic Analytical Laboratory (AAL) can be collected either by the customer or by a representative of AAL for extra peace of mind. See below for more options on sampling methods and sampling equipment available.
