TCEQ lists 5 drinking-water analytes this lab is accredited for. TCEQ database: lab type Commercial; 'Commercial?' Yes; 'Is Primary?' No. Repaired: the list prints the ZIP as 67402-1937; KDHE (the lab's home state) and its certificate print 67401 for 528 North 9th Street; 67402 is Salina's P.O. box ZIP, so 67401 is used.

Around this lab: Saline County, KS
- Private wells: about 2,105 people, 4% of Saline County’s 55,691 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 16 of 105 counties in Kansas by people on wells.
- EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 1: highest potential (average indoor radon may be greater than 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
- Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 17 private-well users (95% range 14 to 21; 2010 base), rank 54 of 105 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
- Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 70% of 24,157 housing units were built before 1980, above the state share of 56%. 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): 2 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 Texas certification program.
