How it works

How RKIN Water Testing works

This mail-in laboratory testing package includes:

sampling vial(s)
sampling instructions
prepaid return shipping label
sample information card/chain of custody document
shipping container

Once the lab receives the sample, a personalized SimpleLab Report will arrive by email within 5 business days.

Each testing package is intended for one sample from a single location unless otherwise specified.

Informational testing

By default, this broad-based chemical and biological water quality screening package is designed to provide general information about water quality for personal use. Each report includes analysis for specific numerical concentration levels of each contaminant and details about the potential sources and health effects associated with each parameter. SimpleLab does not provide medical advice. For medical concerns always consult a doctor. As an informational water quality test, this package is not meant for state or federal compliance water testing. If you or your organization requires compliance with State or Federal Law, or compliance with a particular regulatory requirement then you must contact the SimpleLab support team and the appropriate certified laboratory facilities will be used to ensure compliance testing requirements are met.
