I could run either an HPLC method or a spectrophotometric method. I'm leaning towards the spectrophotometric method since it would be cheaper and provides almost as much information.

I would need less than half an ounce. The cones would need to be in the condition that you plan to use them (ie dryness because water content will affect the weight which would change the %AA calculation)

I could probably get the cost down. I need to determine how much it will cost per sample to run. The big cost would be the initial cost of equipment, but if enough people are interested, that could be solved. Also, it would be less effort to run multiple samples together so if I were to batch...
