• • Samples need to be collected, at most, 5 hours before they are delivered.
  • When you arrive in the UConn Dairy Bar Parking Lot please contact us using the reminder leaflet that was in your sample kit.
  • We accept cash or check. Cost: $200 (this is normally over $350).
    • Due to the popularity of this program we have exhausted our grant funds that were offsetting most of the costs to analyze samples.
    • We are actively applying for more grants to continue this program with low cost sampling.
  • You will receive two bottles:
    • The bottle wrapped in plastic is a sterile bottle. This will be used to analyze the presence of bacteria.
    • The larger, unwrapped bottle will be used to analyze the metals and nutrients.
  • We cannot accept any samples mailed to us due to the time sensitive nature of our bacteria analysis.
  • We do not yet have the resources to operate out of any of our satellite offices.
