| Water Replicates - up to 30% of regular samples & replicates** |
$0.00 |
| Water Replicates - beyond 30% of regular samples & replicates* |
$130.00 |

$130.00 |
Please Note:
- Although our lab does not perform heavy metals analyses in-house, we commonly ship samples to appropriate laboratories as an added service upon request after we complete the water analyses. Costs will be determined at time of request.
- *Water analysis includes lab filtering, processing and sampling supplies. Clients will be sent clean sample bottles, coolers, and icepacks for sample shipping.
- **30% of replicate samples are provided at no charge (e.g., 7 lake samples, up to 3 duplicate samples included in cost; 3 = 30% of 10 total samples: 7 regular + 3 replicates).
- There is an additional $20.00 charge per sample for field filtering supplies if required. This is not generally recommended.
- Supplies will be shipped standard surface at no additional charge. Additional costs for express shipping will be charged to the client. Client pays for return shipping.
