A1: No, they would come all at once
Q2: Will samples be shipped from 24106 N. Bunn Rd, Prosser, WA 99350?
A2: Yes, they will be shipped from this address.
Q3: The Statement of Work (SOW) states that the company will deliver data for the tests within six months of receipt of the dried leaf tissues.

We need some ‘control- wet chemistry samples to work with the Perkin Elmer expert to develop this calibrated equation. David Honigs https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=21279
Q6: Do you have a spec or method to be used for testing? (ASTM, ISO, MIL spec, etc.)
