Consistency is key!
-
A representative sample usually consists of about 20 core samples from a lot however, this may vary depending on the size of the lot to be tested.
-
Collect the sample in an airtight plastic bag (i.e. Ziploc).
-
Paper bags will absorb moisture from your sample, thus altering the final results.
-
Heat may cause condensation which will also alter the final results. To ensure this does not happen, keep your sample in a cool, dark place until it is ready to be sent.
-
-
Properly label your sample and ship it to the lab.
-
Print out our ID tags and send one in with each sample.
-
Equine tests must be specifically labeled.
-
The equine test is for grasses only!
