Submit Samples
SAMPLE SUBMISSION:
We accept samples in one of two ways: through our sample submission portal and the traditional paper method.
We recommend using our portal; it will save you time and effort by automating the sample submission process and allowing results to reach you even faster. The portal also allows you to track your sample and the testing status and download your final report.
Monday-Friday 8 AM – 5 PM EST
