The ASTM D3694-96(2024) standard, published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) on April 1, 2024, provides detailed guidelines for the preparation of sample containers and the preservation of organic constituents. This revised edition ensures that laboratories across various industries adhere to standardized procedures for maintaining the integrity of samples during storage and transport.
The standard outlines specific materials and methods for preparing glass and plastic containers suitable for storing organic compounds in a manner that minimizes degradation or contamination over time. It also specifies temperature, light exposure, and other environmental conditions necessary for optimal sample preservation, ensuring that data collected from these samples remains reliable and comparable across different studies.
ASTM D3694-96(2024) is particularly relevant to fields such as environmental monitoring, chemical analysis, food science, and pharmaceutical research where accurate and consistent sample handling is critical. By following this standard, researchers and professionals can enhance the quality of their work by reducing variability introduced through improper storage techniques.
