Please take special care while sampling and packing your samples
· avoid contamination with modern carbon by keeping your sample away from dust, paper tissue, other mechanical contaminants.
· Sample label (referring to the label on the sample list) should be firmly secured on the sample
· List of samples—ALWAYS attach hard copy of a list of samples.
· If possible use our template to prepare Samples List and e-mail as an attached file to hajdas@phys.ethz.ch
· Packing samples is very important. Use aluminum foil or clean (new) plastic bags, or clean (new) glass/plastic vials. Please take care to secure the lid and the vial from crushing in the mail by wrapping it in bubble plastic.
If submitting CO2 in tubes use 9 mm diameter (outside) and tube length max 10 cm. Make sure the ends are well melted.
