Storing Your Hair Sample
Before dispatching it to the lab.
Your hair sample needs to be stored in a clean, untainted environment before it is sent to the laboratory for analysis. To mitigate contamination, we recommend downloading a self-printed sample storage envelope.
Sample Collection Envelope
Important Note
We have simplified the process of storing hair samples by introducing a user-friendly, self-printed sample envelope to mitigate the likelihood of material contamination during shipping and handling of lab-issued sample envelopes. No hard copy sampling kit will be mailed to your shipping address.
- Simply ensure you have at least 1.5-2 teaspoons of hair samples.
- Print the envelope on a new A4 or Letter-size paper, and seal it before submission.
- If you decide to use your own envelope, place the hair sample in a plain, clean new paper envelope. Before placing the sample inside, make sure to write your name, gender, age, sample location (e.g., scalp), and lab number (for retests) on the envelope.
- Place the hair sample envelope into another envelope with the required submittal form and post it to our facility.
- Remember that unsuitable mediums such as plastic or foilcan contaminate the sample and lead to potentially inaccurate results.
- All hair samples must be accompanied by a printed submittal form (on page 2 of the downloadable PDF) filled out with the patient’s details.
