Protect your transformer oil samples in transit to ensure reliable diagnostic results.

Proper packaging is a critical step in the diagnostic process. It ensures your transformer oil samples arrive at our laboratory without contamination or damage, preserving their integrity for accurate analysis. To protect your samples and guarantee reliable results, please adhere to the following shipping protocols.

 

Prepare Syringes

Securely close the syringe valve before placing it in its shipping box. This prevents leaks and protects the sample. Please do not write on the box itself.

 

Secure Bottles

Tightly seal all bottle caps to prevent leakage. Label each bottle clearly, but do not apply tape to the lids, as it can interfere with lab processing.

 

Protect From Spills

Place all sealed sample bottles inside a plastic bag before adding them to the shipping container for an extra layer of protection.

 

Avoid Overpacking

Do not overfill the shipping box. Leaving adequate space prevents pressure and potential breakage during transit.

 

Include Data Sheet

A completed sample data sheet is essential. It connects each physical sample to your records, so be sure to list every syringe number and bottle ID for efficient processing.

 

Why It Matters

Following these steps is foundational to the unified diagnostic process. It eliminates variables that could compromise your results and supports confident, data-driven decisions for your assets.
