• Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
• Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
• Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
• Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').

MassDEP lists this certified lab as not offering services to residential customers and gives no analyses for it.

Around this lab: Hampden County, MA

• Private wells: about 44,475 people, 9% of Hampden County’s 470,690 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 6 of 14 counties in Massachusetts by people on wells.
• At house sale: Statewide (Title 5) has a septic system rule (310 CMR 15.301-15.305 (Title 5)). What it requires

• EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 2: moderate potential (average indoor radon may be between 2 and 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
• Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 3,256 private-well users (95% range 2,379 to 4,279; 2010 base), rank 3 of 12 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 76% of 197,591 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 67%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
• PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 12 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 0 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.

County figures describe where the lab is, not the lab. Sources: USGS 2015 water use and 2017 arsenic estimates, EPA radon zones, Census ACS table B25034 (2020–2024), EPA UCMR 5 (2023–2026); details and links on the sources page.

Before you send a sample

Call the lab to confirm it's currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Bacteria samples have short holding times. Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Massachusetts certification program.
