About Sacred Sampling Solutions

Laboratory-grade water testing, made simple.

We put a real, accredited environmental laboratory in a box on your doorstep. Collect a sample at home, mail it back, and get results analyzed on the same instruments used for regulatory compliance — explained in plain language.

Who we are

Independent by design.

Sacred Sampling Solutions is a family-run, independently operated environmental testing company. We built the company on a simple belief: knowing exactly what’s in your water shouldn’t require a plumber, a lab visit, or a chemistry degree.

We sell tests, not treatment. We have no financial ties to filter manufacturers or remediation companies, so there’s no incentive to over-report a problem or upsell a fix. You get honest, accredited-laboratory data — and what you do next is entirely your decision.

Built on science, rooted in faith. Real results — no strips, no guesswork.

Kelly Campbell McClure

Founder · Certified Safety Professional (CSP)

Kelly Campbell McClure is the founder of Sacred Sampling Solutions — a mom, environmental professional, and Certified Safety Professional with more than 15 years of experience in environmental consulting, occupational safety, hazardous materials, and exposure-related issues.

With a background in biology, chemistry, environmental engineering, and industrial hygiene, Kelly spent much of her career working around complex environmental hazards and helping organizations understand risks that most people rarely think about.

But becoming a mother changed the way she looked at that knowledge. She realized that families often have the same questions professionals do: What is actually in our water? What are we breathing? What is in the dust around our children? Is this material in our home something we should be concerned about? Yet accessing professional laboratory testing — and understanding the results — can feel unnecessarily complicated.

Kelly founded Sacred Sampling Solutions to bridge that gap: making professional laboratory testing more accessible to everyday people with straightforward collection kits, clear instructions, accredited laboratory analysis, and results designed to be understood — not just filed away.

For Kelly, Sacred Sampling is where professional experience and motherhood meet — giving families the tools and information they need to better understand the environments where they live, work, learn, and play.

The laboratory

Analyzed by a certified ELAP laboratory.

Your sample isn’t read by a color strip or an app. It’s shipped under a documented chain of custody to our accredited partner laboratory and analyzed on regulatory-grade instruments.

Accreditation

NYSDOH ELAP certified

Our partner laboratory is certified under the New York State Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP #11693), with additional USEPA, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania approvals.

Instruments

Regulatory-grade methods

The same instrumentation used for compliance testing — ICP-MS, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, ion chromatography, and defined-substrate microbiology — under published EPA and Standard Methods.

Chain of custody

Documented & defensible

Every kit is tracked from the moment you cap the bottle. That traceability supports use in real-estate, compliance, and dispute contexts.

Lab methods

How each test is analyzed.
