I have access through work to a few people that are experts in liquids analysis, specifically for AutoClaves. I brief, I asked them for a water analysis and they mentioned bring me in >20ml of water and tell me what you want to measure.
My question is: Should I have them focus on a few parameters or a general water chemistry analysis of my tank water? Also, what affect will keeping the water in a plastic bottle and it being tested 4-8 hours after being removed from the tank have on the water analysis? Is there a better transportation method?
I am using the Excel EI method. I know with EI, testing isn't necessary, but I feel with such an excellent testing opportunity I should take advantage of it.
