Entries generally contain the request number, the sample matrix, the frequency of analysis, the customer identification number, a description of the material tested, the date and time the sample was taken, the type of analysis run, the procedure number, the completion date, and results. Analyses conducted include toxicity, total sulphides, cyanide, gross alpha, solids, and oil and grease. Radionuclides frequently tested for include beryllium-7, cobalt-60, cesium-137, potassium-40, and plutonium-238 and -239 with results usually expressed in becquerels/kilogram (Bq/Kg) or micrograms per milliliter (ug/ml).
