FAQ Biosolid Testing

What updates will I receive on my sample status? 

Generally, the first update you will receive is the emailing of your sample analyses report(s).

What is the Sample ID and where do I get this?

Sample ID is the unique term or name you give an individual sample, thus allowing you to know which sample is which when the sample report(s) are returned to you.  For example, “rose bush” or “apple tree”.

Can I dropoff the sample to the laboratory?

The laboratory lobby is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on days that the Texas A&M University campus is open. This includes closure due to weather or early dismissals.

How much biosolid do need to supply for testing?

We suggest 8-10 ounces of liquids and approximately 1 pound of solid biosolids.

What kind of container do you recommend for my biosolid sample?

Wide mount plastic containers are suggested for liquid biosolids while freezer Ziploc bags work well for solid samples.
