This document is one of the most important steps in your journey with NatureMetrics. We cannot start processing your samples until your sample manifest is completed.
This is an excel metadata sheet that is sent to you through email with the shipping notification for your kits. This data is vital to ensure that we process your samples correctly and provide you with the test (assay) results and data you need.
All field workers must familiarize themselves with the sample manifest, so they understand the data that needs to be recorded while sampling.
For each sample taken please include:
- Lat / long
- Sampling country
- Habitat
- Number of sub-samples taken to make up the sample
- Volume of water filtered (if working with aquatic kits)
- Tests to be run on the sample
You can view an example of the sample manifest here. If you cannot find your sample manifest, please request one here.
