Laboratory Analysis

Clarity before a decision is made

Some data acquired from field survey activities require further analysis in the laboratory.

Laboratory analysis results from samples collected during surveys must have a high level of accuracy because these data will be used as model input data and will also support the model verification and validation process. In general, samples collected from field surveys are divided into three groups: physical, chemical, and biological samples.

Full technical basis and contextOpen this section to read the complete source technical narrative.

Some data acquired from field survey activities require further analysis in the laboratory. Samples collected during field surveys must be analyzed as soon as possible to prevent sample degradation. Various chemical analysis methods are applied to determine the concentration of specific parameters in the samples.

Laboratory analysis results from samples collected during surveys must have a high level of accuracy because these data will be used as model input data and will also support the model verification and validation process. In general, samples collected from field surveys are divided into three groups: physical, chemical, and biological samples. Each group is described in more detail as follows: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

If support is needed to analyze survey samples in the laboratory, please complete the form below. The samples to be analyzed will be inspected before entering the laboratory to ensure that no damaged samples are processed.

Next Step
