Do You Have Multiple Samples?
If you want to submit multiple samples in one mailing, we need a completed submission form for each sample.

It’s important to include all the necessary elements we need to diagnose your sample. Please follow the instructions in the Sample Preparation Instruction PDF. Feel free to download and save it for future reference.
