Canisters are to be used for ppb range only. No soil, gas, vapor, or source sampling. Samples should be analyzed within 30 days of collection. Panel Pricing is available for 1-3 and 4-6 compounds. Price includes a pre-cleaned can and regulator use. When using SGS Galson cans, this analysis is not available for discount. Any cans returned, unused, will be subject to a US$25 per can and a US$25 per regulator cleaning fee. Individual can certification is available, upon request, for an additional fee of US$75 per can.

Cobalt
Sampling & Analysis

Cobalt comes in the form a silver-gray powder.  When alloyed with other metals, Cobalt is used in manufacturing jet turbines and gas turbine generators, in electroplating, and as a salt, in the coloring of porcelains, glass, and tiles.  

The substance enters the body through inhalation.  It is irritating to the lungs and if there is long-term exposure, can cause asthma.
