Water testing

Water is an ingredient, a cleaning agent and sometimes the product itself. We test it for the metals, bacteria and chemistry that affect quality and safety.

What we test for

  • Metals: lead, arsenic, copper, iron, manganese and other elements by ICP-MS.
  • Microbiology: total coliforms, E. coli and heterotrophic plate count.
  • General chemistry: pH, conductivity, hardness, nitrate/nitrite and other common parameters.

Who it is for

Manufacturers checking process and rinse water, beverage producers testing source and finished water, and facilities that need routine monitoring data for their own quality programs.

PENDING CONFIRMATION — Confirm whether water testing will be offered at launch, and whether any state drinking-water certification applies. Regulatory drinking-water compliance testing usually requires state certification; do not advertise compliance testing until confirmed.

Collecting a water sample

Water samples need clean, appropriate containers and must reach the lab within a short window, especially for bacteria. Contact us before sampling and we will tell you which containers to use and how to ship them.

Turnaround and pricing

Turnaround depends on the test, the number of samples and the time of year. Standard and rush options are quoted per project. PENDING: turnaround times + pricing
