When NGI has received: 1) a signed agreement, 2) the samples, and 3) valid sample information, the samples will be assigned an arrival date. Please note that NGI cannot accept any samples without a project code and a signed agreement.
Quality Control (QC) of samples will be performed within 10 working days of the arrival date. If the samples do not pass our QC, we will let the researcher decide if replacement samples should be sent, or if NGI should proceed with the available samples. This decision has certain implications on how NGI handles the samples, see the agreement.
The samples are queued for subsequent steps when all samples have passed arrival QC. This date is the queue date.
