Short answer: Yes — laboratory samples of standard grades are normally free for qualified industrial buyers, with courier charges paid by the buyer or billed to their courier account.
How to request a sample
- Tell us the exact grade: product, CAS number if you have it, active content and physical form (powder, needles, liquid).
- Tell us the application and any specification limits that matter to you (heavy metals, colour, salts).
- Give the quantity you need for the trial and your courier account if you have one.
- Confirm the ship-to address and whether an SDS in a specific language is needed for the sample shipment.
Before you scale up
Test the sample against your own process, then ask for a pre-shipment sample from the actual production lot when you place the commercial order — that is the material you will receive, and it is what your retained sample should come from.
