The purpose of the Reference Guide is to provide the user with a descriptive summary of each technique and instrument listed on the Matrix. Summaries for access, collection, and extraction methods (Sections 3, 4, and 5) are presented in the following format (Note: Technologies appear in the Reference Guide in the same order that they are listed on the Sample Access and Collection Tools Matrix):
| 01. General Method Category Title | 08. Production Rate |
| 02. Method title | 09. Investigation Derived Waste Volume |
| 03. Use | 10. Technology Status |
| 04. Description | 11. Certification/Verification |
| 05. Analytes | 12. Relative Cost per Sample |
| 06. Media | 13. Limitations |
| 07. Maximum Depth | 14. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards/EPA Methods |
Items 5 through 12 reflect the evaluation criteria as listed in the Sample Access and Collection Tools Matrix. Text provided for these items reflects the ratings provided in the Matrix. Where applicable, technical support information and clarification is provided for individual ratings contained in the Matrix.
Summaries for sample analysis tools (Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9) are presented in the following format (Note: Technologies appear in the Reference Guide in the same order that they are listed on the Sample Analysis Tools Matrix):
