Water Sample Collection Bottles:
Sample collection bottles can be picked up from the IHS Laboratory Front-Office during and outside office hours. A few of the regularly needed sample collection bottles such as CBWS to collect sample for chemical analysis and SBT to collect samples for bacteriological analysis are kept at the IHS Lab Front-Office and the Security Guards are trained to deliver these to needy clients visiting outside office hours. Please pay the refundable bottle deposit money to the Security Guard, and leave your name & contact number for adjustment of bottle deposit.
If you call us in advance, a separate package of sample collection bottles will be kept with the Security Guard on duty for you to collect outside office hours.

Notes: ! Bottle deposit (BD) will be adjusted towards test service charges. In case of shortfall in return of reusable ice packs, fixing reagent kits, etc provided with the sample collection bottle, there would be prorata reduction in adjustment of bottle deposit. No separate charge for bottles, if concerned test charges are paid in advance while collecting the bottle. However, additional charges will be collected, in case of shortfall in return of reusable ice packs, fixing reagent kits, etc. * The same bottle is used in laboratory for BOD testing, hence the name. However, we are using this airtight bottle to prevent exchange of atmospheric oxygen with the sample, during transport to laboratory. Bottle with fixed sample and unused fixing reagents must be returned to laboratory for adjustment of bottle deposit. In case of shortfall, prorata reduction in adjustment of bottle deposit. |
