The following is a summary of how to send samples to MST for analysis. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Wafer
Elemental Analysis
Please send a sample in a single sheet case, an FOSB or a chip case.
Organic Pollution Assessment
If possible, please prepare two identical samples, place a sample's surface on the other's surface and wrap them twice in a matte surface of aluminum foil.
Small Fragment Sample
If a sample requires careful handling with tweezers, please put the sample in a clear zuppered bag that can be seen from the outside; the weighing paper may flick the sample away; the chip case may have static electricity, which makes it impossible to take out the sample. For organic contamination evaluation, please contact us saparately.
Powder Sample
Please send a sample in a small bottle, a weighing paper or a zipper bag.
Liquid Sample
Fill a screw cap container with a sample. If the sample amount is very small, we can lend you special containers.
Biological Sample
Wrap a sample in aluminum foil, put it in a zipper bag, place them in a styrofoam container with package cushioning or dry ice (if not, ice packs) and send them by frozen parcel delivery service. If humidity control is required, please attach the sample to a glass slide, place it in a conical tube with a desiccant and send them to us.
Other Points to Note
- Please indicate the surface for measuring.
- Be careful not to touch the sample surface for measuring.
- For samples that may be altered by exposure to air, please consult us.
- Please ship fragile samples in a cardboard box with package cushioning.
- Samples that need to be chilled should be sent by chilled parcel delivery service in a styrofoam box with ice packs.
- Samples that need to be frozen should be sent by frozen parcel delivery service in a styrofoam box with dry ice to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the samples.
- Biological samples to be analyzed must be non-infectious. Analysis results must be used for research purposes only and not for diagnositic and therapeutic purposes.
