SCOPE FIRST
Tell us what you need to know.
A testing inquiry should distinguish the material’s claimed identity, its physical form and the results being requested. The laboratory must confirm which work is appropriate and available.
Sample identity
Provide the stated compound name and available background information.
Sample matrix
Explain whether the submitted material is a powder, solution or another form.
Reporting requirements
Specify required units, supporting output and any comparison criteria.
TRACEABLE REPORTING
Results with the right references.
A report should connect the submitted sample to the work actually performed. Read the complete certificate rather than treating a single reported number as a broader endorsement.
SAMPLE ACCEPTANCE
Confirm before shipping.
Contact the laboratory before sending any material. The laboratory must confirm acceptance and the relevant submission instructions. This website does not provide permission to possess, ship or use a substance.
