Environmental soil and water sampling has its problems, especially from sites located in the Highlands.  Sample integrity is one such problem, where a transfer of samples from the north of Scotland to a laboratory in the south, can result in samples remaining unrefrigerated.  Blake Geoservices Ltd offers a sample storage facility, to ensure that all samples are stored at 4°C prior to being delivered to the client’s nominated laboratory.  This may simply be an overnight stop over, or a long-term storage of samples depending on the client’s requirements.  With appropriate notice a storage temperature to suit the clients requirements can also be arranged.
