Icp test

[Duberz]

I sent off a water sample to Fauna Marin on the 20th from Florida. It should have been there the next day. UPS sheeted it as closed on 21/22. It was finally delivered today(23). My question is will days of Florida heat affect the results of my sample water?

I don't think the heat will effect it that much. Maybe PO4, but thats with any ICP test i think.

I do not expect it to be an issue, but there are aspects of the whole mail off a sample for ICP that at this point remain somewhat vague and uncertain. Such as whether bacterial growth impacts the results.
