Execution and sampling

At Micans, we are experts in sampling with many years of expertise. We always work knowing that a sample activity carried out in the correct manner, will ultimately provide good and statistically reliable analysis results.

Micans often sets up experiments in the laboratory to answer customer questions. This often involves custom-built system tailored for the assignment. Sampling is done according to well-developed procedures, methods, and to help us, we always have detailed sampling protocols and templates. We are, unlike many other laboratories, not afraid to take on the boots and go out in the woods, far down underground in mines or under water, all to be able to deliver as good a result as possible

We have a wide selection of field equipment suitable for sampling of i.e. groundwater, surface water and bottom sediments. Our divers are always ready for new challenges and assignments. We also have personnel that are trained and certified by the Radiation Safety Institution in order to be able to work with ionizing radiation. We can therefore offer assistance in microbial sampling within the nuclear industry. We are in close collaboration with different instrument workshops, and often find new innovative solutions to sampling problems where others fail. No matter what environment your sample is located in, you can count on us to collect and transport it in a safe and professional manner.

Micans have high demands for documentation of their tasks. Our concept involves all aspects of an assignment, from the experimental descriptions, the production of incubation material, sampling to result collection and data analysis are documented in writing in different standardised protocols and forms that aredigitally stored and backed-up on secure internal and external hard drives.
