Preparing and Sending Samples to the Laboratory

Good results begin before the samples arrive

How samples are labelled, packed and transported affects the quality of the results. A few simple steps help.

Before you send

  • Give every sample a clear, unique label that will not rub off.
  • Pack samples in strong bags or containers and close them securely.
  • Keep a list of the samples you are sending, with their labels.
  • Tell us about any hazards, such as acidic or reactive material.

When they arrive

We compare what arrives with your list. If something does not match or a sample is damaged, we will contact you.

You can bring or send samples to our laboratory at Ground Floor, Deluxe Hotel Building, Uhuru Street, Mwanza. Request a quotation or contact us if you need guidance.
