Description
This amendment provides answers to questions received.
1. What is the sample material? (i.e. Hydraulic cement)
Response: The sample material is aquaculture tissue (i.e. shrimp, frog, fish, etc.)
2. What is the starting particle size of the material? (i.e. 3mm)
Response: The tissue is ground with dry ice but is paste like once thawed.
3. What is the targeted final fineness? (i.e. 45um)
Response: The tissue size doesn’t change. The equipment in the solicitation should have the ability to transfer liquid from a vessel onto a solid-phase extraction cartridge described in the SOW.
4. What is the amount of sample to be processed in one sample batch? (i.e. 100mL)
Response: The SOW stated it had to be able to do 20 samples or more. Each sample has 15mL that has to be transferred to the solid-phase extraction cartridge.
5. Are there any elements that will interfere with post-grind analysis? (i.e. Fe, Cr, etc.)
Response: This is an organic testing analysis. No metal elements are evaluated.
