BENCHMARK WATER LABORATORY ANALYSIS KIT
Certified HDPE Bottles: Pre-cleaned and ready for high-accuracy collection.
Preservation Gear: Cooling gel pack and insulated shipping mailer.
Step-by-Step Instructions: Clear guidance on capturing a representative sample.
Prepaid Shipping Label: Fast, priority transit to our EPA-verified lab.
Expert Report: A clear breakdown of your levels compared to EPA safety standards.
Once our EPA-verified lab completes the analysis, you won't be left staring at a confusing data sheet. Your report includes a Result Interpretation Guide that compares your levels against the EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
We help you understand:
Action Levels: Does your water exceed safety thresholds?
Aesthetic Issues: Is the mineral content causing your staining or taste problems?
Next Steps: We provide clear guidance on what type of filtration or mitigation may be necessary based on your specific chemical profile.
We utilize high-precision instrumentation to ensure your results are legally and scientifically defensible:
ICP-MS (Method EPA 200.8): For Heavy Metals. This "Inductively Coupled Plasma" technology identifies metallic elements at parts per billion (ppb) levels with extreme accuracy.
Colorimetric Analysis (Method EPA 353.2): For Nitrites. This automated method is the industry standard for detecting unstable nitrogen compounds, ensuring your well water is safe from agricultural runoff.
Analyte
Source of Contamination
Potential Health Impact
Nitrite (NO2)
Fertilizer runoff, septic system failure, or animal waste.
High Risk: Can cause "Blue Baby Syndrome" (methemoglobinemia) in infants.
Lead
Corroded plumbing, lead solder, or aging brass fixtures.
Can cause developmental delays in children; kidney and blood pressure issues in adults.
Arsenic
Naturally occurring in soil/rock; often found in deep well water.
Long-term exposure is linked to skin damage and increased cancer risk.
Copper
Corrosion of household copper pipes, common in acidic water.
Can cause gastrointestinal distress and long-term liver or kidney damage.
Manganese
Naturally occurring minerals; common in well water.
Can impact the nervous system and cause dark staining on laundry and fixtures.
Iron
Seeps into groundwater or enters via corroding steel pipes.
Primarily an aesthetic concern (metallic taste/stains), but can harbor bacteria.
Testing for metals and nitrites requires specialized handling to ensure the sample doesn't degrade before it reaches the lab. Our kit is engineered for scientific integrity.
Professional-Grade Hardware: Includes pre-cleaned, certified HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) sample bottles. These specialized containers ensure no chemicals leach into your water, keeping your sample pure.
Temperature Controlled: Nitrites are highly sensitive to temperature. We include a cooling gel pack to preserve the chemical state of your water during transit, preventing Nitrites from converting into Nitrates before analysis.
Dual-Action Analysis: A comprehensive sweep for both toxic heavy metals and agricultural/septic runoff indicators (Nitrites).
EPA-Verified Accuracy: Your samples are analyzed in a certified laboratory using gold-standard methods, providing results you can trust for real estate transactions or health monitoring.
Essential screening for Heavy Metals and Nitrites.
Is your water truly safe for your family? Contaminants like Lead, Arsenic, and Nitrites are invisible and odorless, yet they pose significant health risks even at low levels. Our Benchmark Water Panel provides professional-grade laboratory analysis, giving you the data you need to ensure your home's water quality meets safety standards.
To ensure accurate laboratory results, samples must be collected according to the provided instructions and procedures.
If a sample is collected incorrectly — including but not limited to:
Using containers improperly
Collecting the wrong sample type
Contaminating the sample
Failing to complete required documentation
Failing to follow shipping instructions
The laboratory may be unable to perform testing or guarantee accurate results.
Sacred Sampling Solutions is not responsible for samples that cannot be analyzed due to improper collection procedures, and refunds may not be available once a sample has been collected or submitted.
Sacred Sampling Solutions provides professionally prepared sampling kits designed to bring laboratory-grade environmental testing into the home.
Each kit is assembled using cleaned, certified sampling containers and documented materials to help preserve sample integrity from collection through laboratory analysis. Every shipment includes step-by-step collection instructions, chain-of-custody documentation, protective packaging, and a pre-addressed return shipping label for secure delivery to our laboratory.
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days, and most customers receive their kit within 3–5 business days depending on location.
Once your sample is collected, simply seal the containers, complete the included chain-of-custody form, and return the package using the provided shipping label.
Upon arrival at the laboratory, samples are logged into the laboratory information system and prepared for instrument-based analytical testing using certified laboratory methods. Most results are available within 5–10 business days after the laboratory receives your sample.
Sacred Sampling Solutions currently ships sampling kits within the United States.
Because when it comes to your water and environment, clarity should be measured — not assumed.
