Steps required for taking a water sample will vary for different tests. Timeliness and cleanliness are important when collecting any water sample. Use the sterile collection bottles from our lab and not your own bottles.
For most water tests, follow these steps when collecting a sample. Additional requirements for certain tests are listed below.
Bacteria & Nitrate/Nitrite samples have short hold times and must be returned to the lab via next-day delivery, as the water testing kit package insert will explain. Please do NOT ship on Friday for Saturday delivery as the lab does not receive samples on the weekend.
Samples received outside of their hold times will be rejected.
Be sure to download the required paperwork to return with your water sample.
Forms for Contractors can be found here.
Once you have your sample, you can drop it off at our front desk or ship it back to us:
