Ralph,
Of the different tests available, I would suggest ion chromatography per
IPC-TM-650, method 2.3.28.  You get more meaningful data than any of the
other available tests.

Any recommendations for cleanliness testing for acceptance of gold plated
PWB's intended for Chip On Board applications using aluminum wire wire
bonding?
