1.

For the convenience of off-campus users, the documents can be sent by registered mail. The electronic file of the results will be delivered by e-mail about one week after the samples are received.

2.

The tester must attach or describe the following information: 

a.

Measurement item (GC-MS or MS).

b.

Free mode (EI, CI, FD, FI).

c.

Inferred structural formula, molecular formula and molecular weight. Please indicate the mass range of unknowns. Those who measure altimetry mass spectrometry must attach the molecular formula.

d.

Solid, liquid or solution can be used, if it is a solution, please inform the estimated concentration.

e.

A solvent that dissolves the sample.
