Quotation, Purchase Order, Payment and Invoice

After receiving the specimens and testing and analysis requirements from a customer, NAT Lab will issue a formal quotation specifying the tests, project scope and estimated cost. Normally a purchase order is required to begin the experiments for contract lab services or a consulting project.

Upon finishing a project, an invoice will be sent together with the analysis and test report. A prompt payment made to Ebatco will be expected and highly appreciated.
