About the ANSERV Laboratory for Researchers
The ANSERV Laboratory offers high-quality analytical services to all researchers. Researchers are requested to contact the lab a few months in advance for information on the available selection of tests and to discuss their analytical needs. In specific instances, the lab can offer some specialized tests.
How To Get Started
Once you have determined which type of sample you will be submitting for testing you can locate the appropriate form link above to download the form. You can fill out the form and send it to the ANSERV Laboratory ahead of sending the samples for us to provide set information and sample ID numbers. When samples are submitted they MUST be numbered sequentially (No letters or symbols.)
Plan Ahead
It is in your best interest to complete and submit your Sample Analysis Request Forms during the planning stages of your research or teaching project. This ensures prompt analysis and coordination of your appointment date(s). Contacting us after your samples have been collected, extracted, or digested may result in sample analysis delays. If you need to complete a sample set by an imposed deadline, please provide this information in the Requested Processing Date line above.
Typical Turnaround times at the ANSERV Laboratory are given below when samples are received by the lab as solutions and in separate vials for each analysis.

ARL Typical Turnaround Times
Typical Turnaround Times
The typical turnaround time is 21 working days from date samples are received. Please provide the ARL with your best estimate of the number of samples you would like to submit. It is best to over-estimate rather than under-estimate this number. Once a sample set is scheduled, it is easy to decrease the number of samples scheduled. Increasing the number requires cancelling the original appointment date and rescheduling the samples, leading to delays in analysis. Please DO NOT deliver more samples to the ARL than are indicated on your Sample Analysis Request Form.

Pricing Information
Pricing
The ARL uses direct invoicing to UF accounting chartfields for payment of services. Expect to budget $2.00 per requested analyte/element, $1.00/extraction/sample and $2.00/digestion/sample. Samples with unusual matrices or other problems may be subject to additional charges. Be sure to provide your sample matrix when filling out the sample submission form. Please contact the ARL with any questions concerning unusual matrices or special analyses.
