ALS has a comprehensive range of drinking, recycled and desalination water analytical services available on request, which are not covered in this pocket guide. Please contact ALS for assistance. Eskies and ice bricks plus labelled pre-dosed colour-coded sample containers are provided for all analyses conducted by ALS. ALS Client Services are available to assist and provide guidance as required. CONTAINER VOLUME AND QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS > Some containers exist in several sizes to accommodate varying suites of analyses while focusing on minimizing weight (OH&S and sampling benefits). Please refer to the notes section under each sample container. > Current NEPM Laboratory QC requirements are to perform 1 in 10 duplicates and 1 in 20 matrix spikes. ALS performs QC based upon the dominant batch within the QC lot. Batches of 10 or more waters should have sufficient bottles provided for duplicate matrix and spike analyses. SAMPLE COLLECTION POCKET GUIDE SAMPLING AND PRESERVATION > Care must be taken not to rinse out or spill preservatives during sampling for OH&S reasons and to avoid cross contaminating other bottles (e.g. Nitric acid used for metals can contaminate nitrate analysis). Field filtration is mandatory or recommended for many tests and other tests must have exposure to air minimised to avoid analyte losses. > Samples should generally be chilled to <4˚C or <6˚C (guideline dependent) and transported to the laboratory within 24 hours. ALS recommends placing samples in ice immediately upon sampling for best practice chilling, with either repacking into another esky or draining of free water and replacement of ice just prior to dispatch. > Chilling overnight in a fridge may also benefit. The post-chilling addition of ice bricks is also recommended where samples are air freighted or dispatched long distance and where couriers will not freight ice. > Samples taken from chlorinated water sources require the addition of sodium thiosulfate for microbiological, volatile organics and semi volatile organics. > Please advise ALS accordingly to facilitate supply of appropriate containers. HEALTH AND SAFETY > Although the quantities of preservative dosed into containers is minimal, it is important to observe safe chemical handling practices while using bottles. Use of appropriate Personal Protection Equipment such as gloves and safety glasses is recommended. > Bottle labels indicate preservative type, risk and safety information and first aid instructions. Material Safety Data Sheets are available on the ALS Website or can be provided upon request along with Safety information and First Aid instructions. > Due to airfreight protocols, containers preserved with nitric or hydrochloric acid or Sodium Hydroxide should not be shipped by air unless under DG protocols. HOLDING TIMES > ALS recommended holding times are indicated. Failure to comply with these Holding Times may impact data validity. Samples and COCs should be submitted (preferrably by email from remore locations to assist login) with at least half the analytical holding time remaining unless prior arrangements are made otherwise. Short holding times are shaded in yellow to assist.
