Field Sampling & Testing
Reliable sampling starts with getting the right sample at the right time. Foxx supports scheduled and responsive sampling programs with a focus on sample quality, traceability, and timely results.
- Trained field crews & equipped trucks
- On-site testing
- One call = sample to results
What is Field Sampling & Testing?
Field sampling and testing is the collection and analysis of product, water, solids, and deposits from pipelines, tanks, and facilities to better understand asset condition, product quality, contamination, and corrosion-related concerns.
- Integrity and corrosion monitoring
- Product quality and contamination assessment
- Routine, investigative, and event-driven sampling
Bacteria samples
Time and temperature matter. Samples are kept cold from collection through storage and shipment to help preserve sample integrity and test reliability.

Where is the pig yield sample at 08:40?
Already being tested. Foxx collects the sample fresh from the receiver, documents what the pig brought back, and starts time-sensitive testing before it leaves site. Here is one sample's day, hour by hour.
08:10
Collected at the receiver
Fresh liquids & solids sampled from the pig yield.
08:25
Yield documented
Volume, appearance & photos recorded.
08:40
MIC & pH read on site
Fresh material screened for bacteria & pH.
30 min from draw11:30
Shipped under custody
Preserved with ice, sealed & chain of custody intact.
Day 2+
Laboratory panel
qPCR, water chemistry & solids analysis as requested.
Report
Trended against last run
Yield, bacteria, chemistry and solids compared over time.

How does it work?
- 01
Collect
On site, on schedule
Samples are collected from pipelines, tanks, facilities, dig sites, wells, and plants, then labelled and logged at the point of collection.
- 02
Test on site
While it's fresh
Time-sensitive parameters such as pH, ATP, and corrosion inhibitor residual are measured at the source where practical.
- 03
Preserve & ship
Chain of custody
Samples are preserved, sealed, temperature-controlled where required, and shipped under chain of custody and applicable TDG requirements.
- 04
Analyze
Laboratory testing
Testing may include qPCR, water chemistry, solids characterization, product quality, and other analysis selected for the objective.
- 05
Report & trend
Turn results into information
Results are organized consistently and compared with previous rounds so changes, trends, and developing concerns are easier to identify.
