This mail-to-lab water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of salmonella bacteria (MPN/100 mL).

Salmonella bacteria are frequently present in the intestines of humans and animals. They are spread through oral-fecal contact and the most frequent way humans become infected with salmonella is through the consumption of contaminated food or water. Salmonella is tasteless and odorless in drinking water–but can lead to serious illness.
