FAQ - Announcement, Packing and Shipment of Samples

faq

IMPORTANT: Please announce your samples!

A short e-mail is sufficient, but you could also use our order sheets.

How to announce samples correctly?

Every sample has to be labeled with a unique identifier.

In case of several colonies on a culture plate please indicate, which of them should be analysed, and provide unique identifiers as well.

Fill every sample identifier into the order sheet. Select the analyses to perform. Sent the order sheet.

How should the samples be packed?

Our recommendations are:

  • seal agar plates and vials with para-film (Scotch-tape is better than open plates)
  • pack plates with membrane filters separately in plastic clip-pouches
  • close containers tightly (!) and secure them against leakage
  • to prevent breaking of the plates or containers use packing material (e.g. bubble wrap)

How should the samples be sent?

We recommend to use a courier service with early delivery time. This way we can receive the samples early at the next workday. Please send the samples to our delivery address:

    AMODIA Bioservice GmbH  
    Entrance D1  
    Geysostrasse 19  
    38106 Braunschweig  
    - Germany -  
    

(preferably overnight until 09:00 h)

Please do not use our postal address. Samples may be lost or sent back.

Is a registration required?

No, it is sufficient to provide the information regarding your company together with the samples. Just fill out one of our order sheets and send it to us.
