OK I'll try to keep a long story short. Paired up a couple of GSMs last year. They took to each other right away. Almost a year after they paired, they had their first spawn. 8/6 - first spawn 8/7 - notice the nest is gone, they ate it :cry: 8/18 - 2nd spawn, my wife has ZERO patience for...

As the person that originally suggested using General Engineering Laboratories, I would like it if anyone has any questions on the capabilities of the lab please visit www.gel.com . This lab is very capable of analyzing any matrix desired. As for QC samples, all Matt needs to do is talk to...

I just talked to one of our Project Managers here and she told me that a test for ICP-MS would be around $200 and for the quantity of samples you are talking about a discount would most likely be appilied. She said lately we have been offering big discounts to steal business from other labs. I...

Sounds like a good project. I work at an environmental laboratory and I think you ought to contact one of the project managers here and they might be able to beat the price you have been quoted. Here's a link to the metals product catalog http://www.gel.net/pdf/Metals-an.pdf And here is the...
