Corrosion Sampling Protocols for Australia

MI can analyze almost any type of sample matrix including water, coupons, pipe samples and scrapings, pig run solids, black powder and more. Following are links to pdf files which provide detailed descriptions on how to collect MIC samples. These same protocols apply for any DNA based assay (QuantArray, NGS, CENSUS (qPCR)).
