Spectroscopy. 1. Turn on the instrument and lamp at least one hour prior to running samples 2. Check instrument dessicant and replace if necessary. 3. Run instrument diagnostics. Do not proceed until instrument passes all tests. 4. Run the QC sample each day at the beginning and end of each batch of samples. 5. Using a metal spatula, thoroughly mix the sample prior to removing a sample for spectroscopy. Avoid shaking the sample or any actin that cause the sample to separate by particle size. 6. Using a small scoop spatula, take four aliquots of material from different parts of the bag. Transfer each aliquot to a clean, dry Petri dish. 7. Close the Petri dish. Hold it by using your thumb on the cover and your middle finger at the base it (such as when holding a CD disk)and mix the material by shaking from left to right a couple of times. Avoid tapping or any action that causes the sample to separate by particle size. 8. Be careful at all times to avoid touching the Petri dish in areas within the spectroscopic window. 9. Make sure that your sample holder in the machine is free of any debris. Remove the top of the Petri dish and place only the base of your dish with the sample in it in the sample holder 10. Scan the sample using the instrument method provided. Repeat from ** until three spectra have been collected. 11. Average the three spectra and save the averaged spectrum. Only this spectrum will be forwarded to Ceres for analysis
