  4. Submitter (name of the person submitting the sample; e.g. graduate student) 
  5. Submitter’s email 
  6. Submitter’s phone number 
  7. Sample ID (a unique identifier for the sample(s); please don’t use Sample 1, 2, 3 because next time it may also be Sample 1, 2, 3 which could result in confusion) 
  8. Elemental Formula (of the proposed compound if appropriate also useful if uncommon elements are involved) 
  9. Predicted Molecular Weight (of the proposed compound if appropriate) 
  10. Type of Analysis (accurate mass, structural fragmentation, chromatography required, etc.) 
  11.  Solvents that solubilize the sample (Water, Acetonitrile, Methanol, Chloroform, Other (specify) – require at least one be identified but include all compatible)
