What are the steps to get a sample tested?

Complete a service request form, found here

This is a fillable PDF, so you will need to save/print the document and email it to info@bdastesting.com (or include it with the shipment).

Package up the sample(s); specific volume requirements are listed in the catalogue 

Label samples “for analysis only, not for human consumption”

Use appropriate packaging materials, such as bubble wrap and packing peanuts, to minimize the risk of samples breaking

Include a copy of the request form in the box, if possible

Ship samples using any carrier (FedEx or UPS recommended)

Do NOT ship for Early AM delivery

Once samples and a service request form have been received by BDAS, they will be placed in the queue

Typically, BDAS will not make contact when samples are received

Check tracking to see if the package has been delivered before calling

For the majority of  in-house tests, standard turnaround is 7-10 business days and priority turnaround is 2 business days. Turnaround for outsourced testing is 10-15 business days. See the catalogue for specific details.
