Orientation for New Clients to Actlabs

For convenience and to improve turnaround time, a sample submittal Form (Request for Analysis) can be filled out on-line or downloaded and e-mailed. Orientation for new clients will provide all the necessary steps in filling out the form.

Please ensure all samples are identified clearly with sample numbers. This can be accomplished with waterproof ink on the sample bags or with sample tags in the sample bags. Turnaround time will be improved by packaging samples in order, neatly in shipping containers and providing an accurate sample list, with a hard copy with the shipment and an electronic copy sent by e-mail. Sample submissions poorly labelled or packaged, or having incomplete or no submission sheets may not be processed until adequate written instructions are received from the client and may incur additional sorting charges. If requested, Actlabs can advise on sampling protocols for your field program.
