All samples must NOT be over 30 hours old when tested and require Certified Lab personnel to authenticate all certified results. Sampling, therefore, should be done immediately prior to delivery to the laboratory and must adhere to the above receiving schedule in order to have personnel available to manage testing procedures. To ship samples, prior arrangements must be made with lab personnel. Samples received outside of the times listed above or samples that will exceed the 30 hour time period prior to testing WILL NOT BE TESTED.
​
Paper Work: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved Microbial Monitoring Form must be completed for each set of samples (max 10 per form). Click here for a link to information about paperwork needed to submit a sample.
