Sample volume is directly depended on tested material, which is also related to sampling methodology. In regards to treatment processes, we are required to provide representative sample treatment and its reduction to amount suitable for separation and chemical analysis. For screening and chemical analysis, following sample volume is needed, depending on particle size:
| Particle diameter | Min. sample weight – chemical analysis | Min. sample weight – screening analysis |
| max. 1 mm | 0,5 kg | 200 g/fraction |
| max. 3 mm | 1 kg | 0.3 kg/fraction |
| max. 5 mm | 3 kg | 0.5 kg/fraction |
| max. 10 mm | 10 kg | 2 kg/fraction |
| over 10 mm | on request | - |
Yes, of course, we’ll recommend the most suitable treatment method for the material in regards with it’s type, and we’ll also conduct a chemical analysis.
That depends on overall difficulty of sample preparation for analysis. If the sample is already prepared for separation and chemical analysis, we are able to deliver the results in 5 working days from receiving it.
We provide a standard form of analytical protocol for reporting, where are in addition to measured results, measurements and responsible professionals, measurement accuracy, sample processing methodology and analytical methods are also stated.
All used analytical methods are validated. In every measurement, we use internal referential standards for method eligibility. All equipment is regularly calibrated and verified.
