Looking to test your construction materials for asbestos? LCS Laboratory Inc. provides accurate, certified asbestos testing using Polarized Light Microscopy (EPA 600/R-93/116). Please note: This is not a test kit. We do not provide sampling supplies or shipping services. You are responsible for sending your samples to the lab located in London, Ontario, Canada.

How to Submit Your Asbestos Samples for Testing:

  1. Collect Your Samples:
    • Gather 2-10 grams of each material (such as insulation, drywall, or flooring).
    • Place each sample in a separate Ziploc bag and clearly label it with a description, like “kitchen floor” or “plaster from bedroom”.
    • The number of bags equals the number of samples.
  2. Choose Testing Sensitivity:
    • Select the sensitivity required for your asbestos testing:
      • 0.5% sensitivity (minimum requirement for most Canadian provinces).
      • 0.1% sensitivity (required for Quebec and Manitoba; highly recommended for more accurate results).
    • Testing at 0.1% sensitivity is performed by two independent analysts for optimal accuracy.
  3. Select Turnaround Time:
    • Choose the turnaround time that meets your needs. We offer flexible options depending on your urgency.
  4. Place Your Order:
    • Submit your order through our website by selecting the number of samples, sensitivity level, and preferred turnaround time.
    • After placing your order, print your receipt to include with your samples.
  5. Ship Your Samples:
    • Send your labeled samples, along with the printed receipt, to our asbestos testing laboratory in London, Ontario. Find the exact address on the “Shipping” tab of our website.

When you take a sample, presume the worst and protect yourself from asbestos. Asbestos is the most toxic when you inhale it. To be safe and “just in case”, you should wear N100 or P100 dust mask.
