<p class="m_-1000867447780819611p1">I hope you're doing well. I am reaching out to inquire about the specific guidelines your facility follows for the receipt of unknown samples, especially unknown nanoparticles those that may be potentially hazardous. Could you please provide detailed
instructions on how clients should package such samples, including any necessary advanced warnings to ensure safety protocols are met? For instance, when submitting unknown nanoparticles for imaging by SEM/EDS/AFM, what are the exact safety measures for staff
to image/ analyze and packaging requirements that should be observed?<u></u><u></u></p>
