Step 4 · Seal and Double Bag Samples

After collecting and labeling each sample, securely seal the primary container (zip-top bag or jar). Then, place the sealed primary container into a second, larger zip-top bag and seal that bag as well. This double-bagging helps to ensure that no fibers escape during transport. Wipe down the outside of the outer bag with a damp cloth.
