Analysis Equipment and Supplies
Since the analysis results are expressed in units of surface area per gram of sample, the true mass of the
sample must be known. This requires an analytical balance with the capacity of 100 grams measure-
ment and 1 mg readability.
In order to obtain accurate analysis results, the sample tubes must be clean. The following items are
suggested for cleaning sample tubes:
• Sink
• Small plastic tub for detergent solution
• Alconox or similar laboratory detergent
• Drying oven
• Ultrasonic bath
• Isopropyl Alcohol

Please advise us if your samples require any pretreatment. If required, do you have the proper equip-
ment, such as a vacuum oven or furnace, to pretreat your samples?
