The water samples are decanted from the bailer into the appropriate number <br /> and size containers. These containers are furnished pre-cleaned to exact EPA protocols, with and <br /> without preservatives added, by the analytical laboratory or a chemical supply company. The <br /> bottles are filled, with no headspace, and then capped with plastic caps with teflon liners. <br /> The vials or bottles containing the groundwater samples are Iabeled with site name, station, date, <br />
