As a service to our clients, additional subcontracted water tests are available upon request including but not limited to:
- lead, copper, iron, manganese, sodium, arsenic, and sulfide.
Please contact us for further information and pricing.
Payment must be completed at the time samples are dropped off at the lab.
CSI accepts payment in the form of cash, card, or check.
Effective January 13, 2025: ELAP (Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program) requires all State Certified Laboratories to meet certain criteria when accepting samples for testing. If samples do not meet the criteria, a note must be added to the certified test report identifying the sample as not meeting NELAC (National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference) acceptance requirements. To prevent this, please follow the instructions below.
- All samples must be refrigerated or placed on ice or cold packs immediately after sample collection.
- Samples must be in contact with ice to keep them sufficiently chilled during transport and the submission process.
- If using cold packs (blue ice) wrap the sample with wadded paper, thin bubble wrap, or other similar thin material to prevent the sample from coming in direct contact with the ice pack which can cause the sample to freeze. Frozen samples will be not be accepted.
- Coolers that do not contain ice or cold packs do not keep samples adequately chilled.
- Sample temperature will be taken at the time of sample submission.
- If samples are not submitted on ice or cold packs, or fall outside the required temperature range (see below), a footnote will be added to the test report stating that the sample did not meet NELAC acceptance requirements.
- The acceptable temperature for bacteria (potability) samples is<10ºC (50ºC)
- The acceptable temperature for chemical samples is<6ºC (43ºF)
- Frozen samples will not be accepted.
