Submitting Samples to the Laboratory

Improperly packing fluid samples can lead to leaks and sample breakage. Ensure that the technicians packing and shipping your fluid samples are properly trained to prevent these easily avoidable problems. Remember, it takes time and effort to retrieve a proper oil sample. Sample leaks and breakage render that sample untestable, so ensure that you follow our packing recommendations.
