We do not accept samples with enriched 14C (often used as a tracer). Any contamination of any amount of enriched 14C ("hot") material may cause thousands of dollars in clean-up and other costs. If you submit "hot" samples to this lab, you may be liable.

All sample ID’s must be unique.
We strongly recommend adding duplicates; we give you up to 10% at no extra charge.
The number of samples in the "Sample ID" column should reflect the number of samples to be analyzed (do not include extra vials in this list).
Keep sample ID’s simple & short. The maximum allowable is 10 characters, but shorter is better, especially for our label printouts.
