Founded in 1987, CARO Analytical Services is a Canadian-owned, ISO-accredited laboratory that provides testing services to public and private clients across North America.
Water, soil, air, plant and food testing is what we do, but equally important is why we do it:
Through our passion for science, you have a lab that is engaged and proactive in helping to protect environmental and human health.
Once you place your order online, we will send you a sampling kit complete with precleaned sampling containers, sampling instructions, some paperwork, and (if requested) a return waybill.
Collect your samples following the instructions provided, fill out the paperwork that was included with your kit, chill your samples, and get the CARO kit to a CARO lab ASAP. Certain tests like bacterial tests (found in most potability packages) have a hold time of only 24 hours, so it’s vital to get your samples in transit right away. We also recommend you avoid shipping on a weekend/holiday.
Once we receive your samples, it takes roughly 5 – 10 business days for us to analyze the samples and produce your report. We will email the report to you as soon as it’s ready. While you wait, you can brush up on your report reading skills here.
