Drinking water and private wells
Lead, bacteria, nitrate, metals and expanded panels for informational, property and program use.
Water + lead programs
Coordinate the full path from outlet to report.
Testing quality depends on the correct laboratory, method, matrix, sample protocol, custody, preservation, holding time and intended use—not merely sending a bottle or wipe to a lab.
Schools and multi-building portfolios
Outlet inventory, kits, barcodes, sampling schedule, ELAP laboratory coordination, results and retesting.
Process, storm and wastewater
Industrial process control, discharge, storm-event and permit-driven scopes with field-parameter and jurisdiction review.
Paint chips, dust wipes and soil
Matrix-specific NLLAP routing, sampler documentation, custody and clearance-context review.
Lead testing support
Qualified field partners, same-day courier coordination, laboratory SLA tracking and evidence packets for primes and programs.
Corrective action and retesting
Track exceedances, remediation status, recollection, laboratory receipt and final original reports.
Program controls
Every matrix has a different gate.
Lead in potable water is not interchangeable with lead in paint, dust or soil. Qualifications are evaluated against the exact sample type and intended use.
Potable-water lead
- ELAP-approved laboratory for applicable New York program use
- Outlet inventory and first-draw protocol
- Preserved containers and custody
- Action/exceedance workflow and retesting
Paint, dust and soil lead
- NLLAP recognition for the exact matrix
- Certified inspector, risk assessor or sampling technician where required
- Wipe area, sample identity and custody controls
- Clearance standard and intended-use review
Portfolio programs
One operating view across every site and sample.
516Labs can organize locations, outlets, sample identifiers, custody, laboratory receipt, turnaround, result delivery, exceptions and retests without hiding the performing laboratory.
