Sending plant samples in Bioreba bags to Naktuinbouw Laboratories
Five years ago Naktuinbouw Laboratories switched to the use of Bioreba bags for all leaf tests for PCR and ELISA testing. If the samples were not delivered in Bioreba bags, the costs (purchase of the Bioreba bags, the extra time and labor) to transfer samples into Bioreba bags were not charged to the client.
