- I. Sample measurement and analysis -
--------------------------------------
a. Protocols followed and references:

b. Filter type
    1. Filter diameter and nominal pore size: 
    2. Make and type (e.g., Whatman GF/F): 
    3. Any pre-treatment applied to the filters (e.g., Combustion temperature, and duration): 

c. Sampling and processing
    1. Method of filtration (e.g., bench top, in line system): 
    2. Was filtration volume (volfilt) for each replicate (if equal volumes filtered) reported in the data matrix? 
    3. Were number of replicates per reported sample in the data matrix (i.e., bincount)? 
    4. Were Standard deviation or % cv of replicates reported in the data matrix? 

d. Post sampling processing
    1. Acidification step: Mode of application (i.e., fumes vs. solution): 
    2. Drying method and temperature (length of time in oven, desiccator, etc): 
    3. Elemental analysis: 

e. Elemental analysis
    1. Instrument make and model: 
    2. Calibration standard: 
    3. Reference material used and performance metric results relative to reference:

f. Blank corrections
    1. DOC/DON adsorption (“filtrate”) blank correction should be measured and applied (Moran et al. 1999). Were samples blank corrected?
