Tips for Submitting Samples
- Collect a representative sample from the lot, not just from the surface.
- Use clean, air-tight bags or containers — especially when moisture is to be tested.
- Collect water samples in clean bottles and deliver them promptly.
- Label each sample with material, source, lot number and date.
- Mention the parameters required and any specification you are testing against.
