Sample tracking

Sample return, retention, storage and disposal

All SGS laboratories run sophisticated LIMS systems, which facilitates complete tracking of analyses throughout the laboratory. It directly tracks all samples from the time they are received at the preparation facility until they are sent to a SGS Centre of Excellence, analyzed and reported. For more information about this process, please ask your local customer service agent.

SGS laboratory staff will discuss sample management with each client on an individual basis. Samples may be kept on-site for a maximum of three months, after which storage fees may apply. Please contact your SGS customer service agent for more information about our sample return, retention, storage and disposal services and policies.
