Users should typically be trained on instrumentation if routine analysis is needed in order to conduct research. For accurate mass analysis or single measurements fill out the sample submission form and submit the labeled vials on the desk near the MAT 900. Unlabeled vials will be disposed of without analysis.

Users with multiple samples (more than 5) should validate the preparation procedure on a single sample first and then prepare other samples. Properly prepared samples receive a substantial discount .
