Recommendations for nations developing a trace metal-clean sampling system

An extremely useful resource for nations developing trace metal-clean sampling systems is now available on the GEOTRACES web site!

Based on 11 years of experience, Greg Cutter, GEOTRACES Standards and Intercalibration past co-chair, has summarised the recommendations that nations developing a trace metal-clean sample system need to consider for successful sampling.

The document available here includes essential information as a description of the existing sampling systems, provide useful advise on the purchase of the sampling bottles, guide in the clean lab design, etc. In other words a valuable source for those willing to do GEOTRACES research.
