Field Sampling and Analysis
Technology Matrix and
Reference Guide
The Field Sampling and Analysis Matrix and Reference Guide is a quick reference
source to provide users with a basic understanding of the sampling and field analyti-
cal technology options available for site screening, characterization, and monitoring.
This screening tool gives users a general understanding of the applicability of field
analytical and innovative sampling technologies by
comparing them along a number of application and
performance parameters. The matrix and reference
guide will enhance technology information transfer
and allow site managers to quickly understand and
assess a range of technologies that may be appropri-
ate for their specific site problems.

This resource is comprised of three parts. The matrix is actually two matrices (one
covering sample analysis technologies,;the other for sample access and collection
technologies) organized in a poster format. These posters allow project managers to
see the range of technology options and their relevance to a number of parameters,
including analytes, media, throughput, cost, data quality, investigation derived wastes, stage of development,
precision, accuracy, etc. The second part is the accompanying reference guide which provides more detailed
descriptions of the technologies and bibliographic references.
The "Matrix" was developed by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and EPA with input from the
other member-agencies of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable to benefit hazardous waste site
cleanup program managers. Interagency participation was essential to ensure that the "Matrix" meets the needs of
project managers in all of the Roundtable agencies as well as decision-makers at non-Federally managed sites.
i
The matrix and reference guide is patterned after theRernediation Technologies Screening Matrix and Reference
Guide, Version 1 (EPA 542-B-93-005). It draws upon a number of existing resources, including (but not limited
to):
• The Vendor Field Analytical and Characterization Technologies System
(VendorFACTS)
• The California Military Environmental Coordination Committee (CMECC)
Field Analytical Measurement Technologies, Applications, and Selection
matrix
• EPA compendium of field methods
• Sensor database under development by the Air Force's Armstrong Labora-
tory
• DOE Field Analytical Technologies Matrices (from the Preferred Alterna-
tives Matrix)
