Sampling is one of the most important functions of the analytical process. The value of any analytical method is dependent on the nature of the sample analyzed. Many important decisions are based on the results of sampling, particularly those of a production or commercial nature.

Accurate and representative sampling is a challenging operation that requires both understanding of the commodities as well as correct application of the sampling process. Sampling methods must be applied with strict accuracy by specialized personnel with prior sampling experience. Moreover, a standardized approach should be adopted irrespective of the sampling location, shipment size or commodity.
