The Systems for Sample Collection and Conservation include numerous equipment which can be used for sample preparation depending on the type of environment from which the samples were collected (water, soil, air, biota) and on their composition. The preservation of the samples, which may or may not have been previously prepared for further analysis, can be done by:
- refrigeration;
- freezing;
- biological and sediment sampling;
- aerosols sampling;
- meteorology;
- air quality measurements;
- mobile measurements of air quality parameters.
