Sample Bottle Kits
All analyses have method-specified bottle types, preservation and analysis holding times. Therefore, Turner Laboratories provides specially prepared bottles and shipping containers based on the needs of your project. Contact us today to request sampling containers for your project. Samples should be submitted to the laboratory as soon after sampling as feasible. Our sample Chain of Custody form is available for downloading.
