Instructions for submitting samples
- If you do not know what kind of service you need, please contact Dr. Kari Basso.
- SELF OP – Please download/save if you are a Self-Op user.
- Please fill the form out completely and with as much information as possible about your sample.
- Use the comment section to provide additional requests or sample information, such as sample storage conditions (e.g., light sensitive, store in refrigerator).
- You may use ONE form for several samples being submitted at the same time.
- Use a separate sheet to provide the sample name, structure, chemical formula, and molecular weight for all samples being submitted.
- Print the form when you are done and bring it with your sample and bring structures of your molecules if you are requesting accurate mass analysis .Â
- Bring the printed form and the sample(s) to the UF Chemistry Laboratory Building (CLB), room 101, between 9 am and 4 pm weekdays. Please enter your information at the computer station and the entrance of the lab.
- If you are mailing the samples, please use Fed-Ex or UPS as a carrier.
- Do not mail for weekend delivery.
- Ship the form and samples to:
