The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Sample Management Office (SMO) serves as a point of contact for multiple environmental analytical chemistry and laboratory issues (e.g., capacity, capability). The SMO chemists work with project managers during the planning phase of projects to help develop data quality objectives, select appropriate analytical methods, identify special analytical services needs, identify a source for the services, and ensure that requirements for sampling and analysis (e.g., preservatives, sample volumes) are clear and technically accurate. This paper details the operation of the site-wide SMO and outlines the benefits of having one SMO at a Department of Energy facility.
