Contact · Intake
Submit samples for testing.
Tell us the compound, how many samples, and which panels you want. We reply with a quote and the shipping address — do not ship before you have both.
Intake details
Start an intake
This form opens your own email app with the details filled in. Nothing reaches us until you press send — so nothing you type here is transmitted anywhere in the meantime. Prefer to write it yourself? Email lab@northlineanalytical.com directly.
What happens next
Four steps
- 1 · You send the intake — Compound, amount, assays, email.
- 2 · We quote you — Pricing, the sample quantity we need, and the shipping address come back together.
- 3 · You ship — Samples are accessioned the day they arrive and given a report ID.
- 4 · We release — Certificate emailed to you and posted to COA Lookup.
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days from accession. Rush is available when capacity allows — ask in your intake and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit your date.
Preparing samples · Label
Label every container
- Sample name — the compound as you know it.
- Concentration — if it is known.
- Lot number — this is what the certificate gets looked up by later.
- Company or submitter name — so the vial ties back to your intake.
Preparing samples · Pack
Pack so it arrives intact
- Nothing unlabeled — an unlabeled container cannot be accessioned, and it holds up the whole submission.
- Nothing leaking — check every cap is seated before the box is sealed.
- Contact details inside the box — not only on the outer label, which can be destroyed in transit.
- One extra vial per add-on — endotoxin, sterility screening, and conformity testing each need their own.
Before you ship
Three things that slow an intake down
01
Shipping without a quote
Unannounced packages cannot be accessioned against an intake. Wait for the address we issue with your quote.
02
Missing lot numbers
The lot number is what a certificate is looked up by later. Without one we cannot tie the result to your material.
03
Too little material
Endotoxin, sterility screening, and conformity testing each need their own vial on top of the purity and identity work. The quote states the quantity required.
