What is the delivery period of water samples?

•  What is the delivery period of water samples?

After sampling, the water sample has to be  transported in dark and cool conditions and delivered. For bacteriological analysis, nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, nitrite), acidity, bicarbonate and carbon dioxide, delivery must take place within 24 hours. For more specific information about other analyses we refer to our website: services, overview of analyses.

If the time span between sampling and delivery as indicated is exceeded, the analysis can still be executed, but it will be less reliable.  If the preservability is exceeded, WLN will mention this in the analytical report.
