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.

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.

The instrument and published method behind every analyte we report.
