The Reporting Limit (RL) is the lowest amount of analyte that can accurately be reported by the method.  RL is subject to change.

The Method is the standard operating procedure the DHHS Public Health Laboratory or contract laboratory uses to perform the test.

* The Price noted is the current fee as of 1-01-2008.  Prices are subject to change.  For the most current price contact the laboratory.

The Holding Time is how long the sample can be held after collection before it must be analyzed by the laboratory and still give you a reliable result.

Our Expected Turnaround Time is based actual days.  If sample results are required to meet a particular deadline call Customer Service and express your needs.  Every effort will be made to schedule your work to meet your needs.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is the action limit set by the Federal Government for the analyte in question.

NA:  Not applicable.

Special Prices (*Prices are subject to change).  For analytes not listed and special projects call (402)471-2122.
