Dioxin Testing - Sample Guidelines
Dioxin/Furan samples should be collected in amber glass containers with Teflon-lined caps*. Samples with residual chlorine present should be preserved with 80mg Sodium Thiosulfate. Dioxin air methods include unique sampling techniques and media and should only be attempted by trained, experienced personnel. Ship samples via overnight carrier, chilled to 4°C. Pace Analytical is licensed and prepared to accept dioxin testing samples from anywhere in the world.
