Sampling of water

The following are some of the critical points to consider during water sampling:

First, we prepare the necessary equipment for sampling. This equipment includes new, clean, and contamination-free bottles, gloves, and labeling for the samples.
Rinse the container with distilled water to ensure it is clean, then take the sample.
Before starting sampling, we wash our hands thoroughly or use gloves to prevent contamination of the samples.
The tank valve should be clean to prevent contamination from entering the sample. Alcohol or a flame can be used to clean it.
Let the tap run for at least 2 minutes to allow the water to flow properly. This will help remove any surface contamination from the tap.
Open the sampling bottle and hold it under the tap. Collect the water slowly, without touching the tap, and then close the container immediately.
We attach a label to the bottle that includes information such as the date and time of sampling and the name of the sampler to prevent any ambiguity or error.
Store the sample at the appropriate temperature (usually in the refrigerator) and deliver it to the laboratory as soon as possible.
