FAQ

How much does laboratory testing cost?

Pricing depends on the specimen, analytes, collection needs, and turnaround requested. Environmental laboratories typically quote projects based on the number of samples and methods, while clinical testing may depend on insurance or the selected test.

What should I look for when choosing an environmental laboratory?

Check whether the laboratory is certified for the required method and provides documented chain-of-custody records, reporting limits, analytical methods, and results suitable for regulatory review.

How long do laboratory results usually take?

Labcorp states that many routine tests are reported within 24 to 48 hours, while environmental turnaround varies by method. Meritech lists short turnaround for low-level mercury and metals testing, and Pace offers emergency response for some projects.

What is the difference between a clinical lab and an environmental lab?

Clinical laboratories such as Labcorp process patient specimens such as blood and urine. Environmental laboratories test water, wastewater, soil, air, hazardous waste, and related samples using methods such as EPA, Standard Methods, or ASTM procedures.

When should I request emergency laboratory testing?

Emergency service is most relevant after an environmental incident, suspected contamination, or outbreak response when immediate sample collection and analysis are needed. Routine monitoring, permit testing, and scheduled medical tests generally use standard turnaround.
