Turnaround time
It usually takes about a month for most routine analyses, but please contact us because it will depend on the analyses to be done, the number of samples, and the lab backlog. Rapid turnaround time is available for an additional fee.

Please note: The Laboratory is not designed to provide analysis of single samples from individuals, such as for drinking water supplies; the NH Department of Environmental Services lab or commercial laboratories are better able to meet those needs.
