NOTICE: The 4th of July holiday is swiftly approaching and Research Laboratories will be on shut down from June 29th through July 6, 2026. During that time the messages will be monitored but no orders will be processed until full staff returns.
To ensure completion in a timely manner, the cut off for sample sumbission is June 19, 2026, however... The lab queue is currently full and we cannot guarantee additional work will be completed in time. Samples submitted for testing after the 19th are not likely to be started until after we return on the 6th of July. We continue to process as many of them as we can in a timely manner.
As always, thank you for your understanding, patience, and business. We will strive to complete as much as possible to ensure everyone has an enjoyable holiday.
Please reach out to us and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
We hope you have a safe and fun filled 4th of July.
