Table T7. Sampling for monitoring of contamination in drilling mud, Expedition 337.

Sample type Sampling method Sampling frequency Analysis
Active tanks before drilling Directly from active tank(s) 50 mL, every day, from both actively mixed tanks PFC (every sample), DNA, cell counts (certain samples)
Active tanks during drilling From mud fluid line, before drilling mud goes into borehole 50 mL, every day, from both actively mixed tanks PFC (every sample), DNA, cell counts (certain samples)
Unwashed cuttings Every 50 m except during coring 50 mL, every day, from both actively mixed tanks PFC (every sample), DNA, cell counts (certain samples)
Circulating mud fluid from mud ditch Every 50 m except during coring 50 mL, every day, from both actively mixed tanks PFC (every sample), DNA, cell counts (certain samples)

PFC = perfluorocarbon.
