The analysis must be analyzed within 48 hours. Samples that are handed in later than 4 hours after sampling must be kept cool and dark. The sample must not be frozen after sampling as this affects the accreditation status of the sample. When analyzing drinking water, we recommend turbidity instead of suspended matter.
If you still want clean samples to be analyzed for suspended matter, it is important to use a large sample volume (>500ml) for very clean samples, since NS-EN 872 requires that the amount of dry matter on the filter be at least 2 mg for results to be valid and is reported as accredited.
