What container is best for storing sample residues
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I work in a laboratory. Since several of the company’s products are in granular or powdered form, samples need to be kept from the materials produced on a three-shift basis each day. Generally, each sample weighs around 90 grams, so over the course of a month hundreds of such samples are accumulated. I’m wondering what is the best way to store these granular or powdered product samples, and how to label them to ensure traceability. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Our company generally uses plastic sealed bags with labels (these are mainly for sample retention for testing), and we also use glass containers (these are primarily used for product display).
Generally, plastic sealing bags are used with labels attached, the items are packed in categories, and the time range along with storage conditions are indicated on the boxes
For granular or powdered products, sealed bags are the most convenient choice! Most companies have sample storage rooms for the purpose of tracking shipped samples! The samples kept as reserves should be placed in the sample storage room. Label the sealed bags and arrange them in the cabinet in order of batch number or chronological order. for easy searching. Then clean it regularly. In accordance with the company’s sample retention policies, samples that have exceeded the allowed time limit are removed on time. The others should still be placed in order!
Just keep it in a plastic bag. Appropriate labels should be attached to the outer surface of the plastic bag; if more standards are followed, information such as the unit, name, batch number, inspection date, inspector, retention date, person in charge of retention, and storage period can be included.
