Sending samples for Analysis

Due to the time taken in the mail, we have found it impractical to send kits outside Australia. This is not really a problem though, since you do not need a kit in order to send samples. To do it yourself simply follow the instructions below (links will open a new window):

1. Follow the instructions in Collecting samples
2. Put your sample (250g to 300g only) into a strong, sealed plastic bag (such as a ‘Ziploc’ bag) and write the sample ID name on the outside with a felt-tip pen.
3. Go to our Forms page and print the relevant Sample Information form for your sample type (soil, plant tissue or water), fill in the details and enclose it with the sample.
4. Pay for the tests you want either by writing your credit card details on the sample information form you just printed (step 3), or by using our Online ordering page.
5. If you are not in Australia, please read the information about Sending samples from Outside Australia and write the address and Quarantine permit details clearly on your package.
6. Send the sample to us by mail or (if you are outside Australia) via International Airmail (do not use a courier service)

If you have any difficulties or need more information, please feel free to Contact us.

We accept either Cheque, Credit Card or Online Payment - Do Not send Cash in the Mail!

Your local Post Office is probably the best to advise on how to pack and label the sample.

For customers within Australia, the address to send samples is :

SWEP Analytical Laboratories
PO Box 583, Noble Park, VIC 3174
Australia.

For customers Oustide Australia : You need to use our Street Address (Not the one above) and also include additional details on the package (For Quarantine purposes) if you are sending samples from Outside Australia.
