Prepare your Samples
What are the sample size requirements?
It is necessary that your sample size meets our minimum sample size requirements, which varies based on the type of test requested and the sample matrix being submitted.
Sample Preparation
- Hemp/biomass should be properly cured and ground to ensure a homogenous representation of your sample.
- Please note, due to the high volume of samples that we test on a daily basis, we do not provide any additional sample preparation for any product type.
Sample Labeling
Samples need to be properly labeled with the following information:
- COMPANY NAME
- SAMPLE NAME
- BATCH ID (optional)
- TEST TYPE
- TURN AROUND TIME

Supporting Documentation
It is best to send any supporting documentation that you may have with your samples. In the event that your package is selected for inspection, having any state or international cultivation/manufacturing licenses, or certificates of analysis, will expedite the release of your package. If registration is required under the hemp’s origin state, Botanacor may request evidence of any registration or certification.
Packaging your Samples
Ensuring sample integrity while in transit will be important to avoid any shipping or testing delays. We recommend packaging your samples in a dual container system.
Primary Container
- Please submit your samples in reinforced, resealable, labeled containers that are suitable for your product matrix.
- For glass containers, reinforce screw caps with adhesive tape.
- Affix a proper label to clearly identify the contents.
Secondary Container
- To prevent breaking or leaking in transit, please reinforce your primary containers properly such as bubble wrap.
NOTE: In the event that the integrity of your sample is compromised while in transit, we will request a replacement sample.
Shipping
When your samples are prepped and ready for submission, be sure to package everything in a sturdy shipping box, as opposed to an envelope.
Please submit your submission receipt as well as labeled samples in your package.
