Sample Temperatures During the Summer Months
Temperatures are very likely to be above average across Aotearoa New Zealand this summer, so please take extra care to ensure that samples arrive within the correct temperature range. Many of the samples received at Eurofins have temperature requirements driven by our IANZ and MPI accreditation. These types of samples include drinking water and food products. Samples should be couriered in a dark environment, arrive at the lab within 24 hours of sampling and be between 0°C and 10°C.
This delivery environment keeps your samples in a state that ensures the results we report are as accurate as possible.
To make sure the samples are delivered within the allowable criteria you may start to see extra cooling products arriving in your sample bins. Please ensure that all the ice packs are frozen before packing ALL of them around the samples. We do not want to fail a sample based on the delivery conditions, so your help with this requirement will assist us to keep things as compliant as possible.
