Transition to Bag Sampling

At the 2020 NADP Spring meeting, the Executive Committee approved the National Trends Network (NTN) to make the switch from bucket sampling to bag sampling. The transition will occur over the next couple of months.

The switch from buckets to bag sampling will result in significant shipping cost savings for sites, as the 6N1 supply boxes will no longer be required. The only supplies to be shipped back to the lab for cleaning are the used lids.
