How to Submit Lab Samples
Submitting samples to our laboratory for analysis is an easy, straightforward process. Here how:
1. Make sure that all samples are placed inside of a clean container such as a Zip-Lock plastic bag and carefully sealed. Clean any residue from the outside of the sample container with a damp paper towel.
2. Use a permanent marker (ie: "Sharpie" or "Magic Marker") to label the container with a unique Sample Number (ie: Sample # 1) and a description (ie: ceiling tile, Room 202, NW corner)
3. Enter this information on CAM's Chain of Custody. Be sure to also fill out your contact information, the required turnaround time, and your payment information (see our Analtyical Price List for current pricing). CAM Environmental accepts all major credit cards (no personal checks please). Results will not be released until full payment has been received.
4.Place the samples and the Chain of Custody into a sturdy shipping container and send it via US mail, private courier, or commercial carrier, to the following location:
