Straight from our FAQ: here's how a bacteria sample travels from your faucet to the final report.
Obtain a sterile 100 mL bottle from Environmental Labworks. Remove any filter or screen from your faucet tap.
Flame the tap or pour boiling water over it, then run cold water for at least five full minutes.
Fill the bottle to the 100 mL line without touching the inside of the cap or bottle. Don't let the faucet contact the rim.
Deliver to the lab on ice within 24 hours. Can't make it right away? Refrigerate until you're ready to transport.
A veteran team with degrees in the relevant disciplines and several licensed operators on staff.
Over three decades in water quality. A Poseidon of potable purity who probably dreams in parts per million. The reason you can confidently gulp down that glass of tap water.
A visionary like his father Tony — with the exception that Julian's vision involves training primates to work for us. Bridging the gap between species, one coliform panel at a time.
Laser-like focus on the nitty-gritty details. We'd trust her to find a misplaced comma in a ten-thousand-page report. Possibly calibrates our coffee maker in secret.
Loves water. Swimming in the big blue ocean, splashy-splashing in the bathtub, even just watching the little raindrops fall down, down, down. A very splashy and happy friend.
