I agree. Full disclosure of equipment used and methods is a mandatory and prefunctory part of all scientific papers. It would be like me publishing a paper on detection limits in mass spectrometery for some compound and then not telling them what kind of mass spectrometer I was using...instead simply saying that it was a properly designed and funcitoning unit. I can assure you lots of questions would be forth coming from the reviewers if I had omitted that critical piece of information. Also, omission of sample handling would raise a few eyebrows!
