Labeling

Complete and accurate data on work orders will significantly expedite entry of samples into the lab’s information management system and ensure prompt processing. The label on each sample should provide detailed identification of content and should also be referenced on the work order. Samples containing potentially high levels of toxic materials must be clearly labeled to protect both laboratory personnel and instrumentation.

Michelson Laboratories, Inc. is committed to ensuring all your samples adhere to government standards as they flow through the collection, retention, and labeling process.
