  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The analytical methods validated by the Mineral Resource Surveys Program, Geologic Division, is the subject of this manual. This edition replaces the methods portion of Open-File Report 90-668 published in 1990. Newer methods may be used which have been approved by the quality assurance (QA) project and are on file with the QA coordinator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This manual is intended primarily for use by laboratory scientists; this manual can also assist laboratory users to evaluate the data they receive. The analytical methods are written in a step by step approach so that they may be used as a training tool and provide detailed documentation of the procedures for quality assurance. A "Catalog of Services" is available for customer (submitter) use with brief listings of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;the element(s)/species determined,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;method of determination,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;reference to cite,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;contact person,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;summary of the technique,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and analyte concentration range.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a copy please contact the Branch office at (303) 236-1800 or fax (303) 236-3200. &lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
