Build a quotation-ready testing requirement.

Capture the technical and sample details a laboratory needs to understand your enquiry. This tool does not select an eligible laboratory or verify accreditation scope.

Named standard or method Enter only a reference you are authorised to use; do not paste protected standards. Method flexibility Measuring range and units LOD, LOQ or sensitivity

3. Sample and logistics Sample description and condition

Number of samples and quantity Sample location Preferred completion date Is laboratory sampling required?

4. Quotation expectations What should the quotation itemise?

Local-only draft: generating a brief makes no network request. The draft is kept in this browser for up to 24 hours and is sent only if you later select a laboratory, verify your details and explicitly submit an RFQ.

Before requesting a quote

Information that reduces clarification delays

Identify the exact sample matrix, condition, number of samples and available quantity.
Separate a mandatory named method from a method the laboratory may recommend.
State ranges, units, detection limits and acceptance criteria where the decision depends on them.
Disclose hazards, storage conditions, preservation and chain-of-custody needs before dispatch.
Inspect current source evidence for the specific capability; a directory listing alone does not establish eligibility.
