From check-in to final analysis, we control every aspect of a customer order
to assure prompt and accurate results.

For internal quality checks, our lab technicians place a series of soil standards before and within a group of samples to be analyzed each day.  This allows data evaluation before and during each soil analysis.

       
Soil is scooped for extraction using procedures as defined in the Recommended Chemical Soil Test Procedures for the North Central Region.

United Soils invests in state-of-the-art analysis equipment to assure the most advanced and accurate results possible.
