Standard Operating Procedures

Each analytical workstation is provided with an operating manual detailing the procedures to be followed for sample preparation and analysis, including the calibration, operation, maintenance, and servicing of each item of equipment and analytical instrumentation.

Glassware and containers are cleaned immediately after use, washed with a laboratory detergent, rinsed with distilled water, and stored in a clean atmosphere until dry. Sanitation is maximized by replacing glass wherever possible with disposable plastic containers.
