Page 1 of Page 1 of Questions and Answers:

1. The Statement of Work mentions that the “recommended maximum elapsed time between collection and analysis is 8 hours.” We overnight our samples via FedEx for next-day delivery, and they begin being processed within 24 hours of collection. Would this be acceptable?

0. See Statement of Work

1. The document states that results are required to be reported within 72–96 hours. Would it be acceptable for the bacteria and endotoxin results to be reported within that timeframe, while ionic testing results are provided within 7 business days?
