- Sample label (referring to the label on the sample list) should be firmly secured on the sample.
- Packing samples is very important. Use aluminum foil or clean (new) plastic bags, or clean (new) glass/plastic vials. Please take care to secure the lid and the vial from crushing in the mail by wrapping it in bubble plastic. Please use possibly small volume of vials.
