How to choose a lab

  1. Pick a lab on the official list above that is certified for each test you need (bacteria and chemistry are often separate certifications).
  2. Ask for the lab’s own sample bottles and instructions; bacteria samples usually must reach the lab within 24–30 hours.
  3. Compare prices for a basic package (bacteria, nitrate, pH/TDS) and add arsenic or other metals where local data shows a risk.
  4. Be wary of free in-home tests from treatment-system sellers — see our salesperson checklist.

Based on CDC and EPA private-well guidance.
