Packing types:
Polybag Sterile polyethylene sample bag
Al-bag Aluminum gas-tight bag
Anaer. jar N2-flushed sample jar
Vacuum pack Air removed from Al bag before heat sealing
Anaerocult A Small trays of metallic Fe, bicarbonate, and citrate (Merck) that scrub O2 from a gas-tight bag and produce CO2 when wetted

Notes: FISH = fluorescent in situ hybridization. SIMS = secondary ion mass spectrometry. WRC = whole-round core. — = additional sample specification may be appended to sample code.
