Send a sample

Follow our advice to make sure your sample submission reaches us safely and securely

 

For all projects, we request that you first obtain a proposal from our Customer Services team before submitting your samples. This will ensure that both parties are clear on the scope of the project, analysis required, the agreed turnaround time and associated costs.

A proposal will be generated from our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) giving you a unique identifier.
