Reliable results therefore depend on clean, uncontaminated samples.<\/p>\n<p>Please approach sampling with this in mind \u2014 small external contaminations can have a measurable impact on the result.<\/p>\n<p>Key considerations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One flask per sample is sufficient. Do <strong>not<\/strong> pre-treat samples \u2014 no filtration, no additives, no freezing.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse each flask twice with the sample before filling. Leave a small air space after closing.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid external sources of contamination during sampling (e.g. skin contact, cosmetics, aerosols from breathing or smoking). Use powder-free gloves where possible.<\/li>\n<li>Use self-adhesive labels \u2014 felt-tip pens release organic solvents and should not be used directly on flasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Minimum sample volume:<\/strong> &gt; 40 mL per sample. For Ultrapure Water (UPW), a minimum of <strong>1000 mL<\/strong> is required due to the pre-concentration step involved.<\/p>\n<h3>Special Sample Types<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Marine waters:<\/strong> Please clearly label these samples as <em>&#8220;marine sample&#8221;<\/em> on the flask or accompanying documentation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ultrapure water (UPW):<\/strong> Analysis of UPW requires pre-concentration and involves a significantly higher analytical effort. Minimum volume: <strong>1000 mL<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>For other special sample types or non-standard matrices, please <a href=\"https:\/\/doc-labor.de\/?page_id=38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">contact us<\/a> in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Please ensure samples are adequately packaged to prevent breakage during transport. Each flask should be wrapped individually with sufficient cushioning material.<\/p>\n<p>Samples should ideally reach our laboratory within 2\u20133 days after sampling. For longer transit times or warm-season shipments of heavily loaded samples, pasteurisation prior to shipping is recommended \u2014 details are provided in the PDF guide above.<\/p>\n<p>Sampling materials can be provided upon request.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customs declaration<\/strong> (for international shipments):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>&#8220;Distilled water samples for analysis, no commercial value&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 Tariff no. <strong>28530010<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;Sea water samples for analysis, no commercial value&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 Tariff no. <strong>25010010<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Declared total value: below <strong>20 \u20ac<\/strong>.
