Glyphosate Herbicides Tests (Laboratory Test)

Description

This laboratory test will check the level of Glyphosate & Aminomethylphosphonic Acid (AMPA) in water.

Glyphosate is an active ingredient in many herbicides including Roundup. It is only absorbed through green plant tissue such as leaves and stems, therefore it targets broadleaf weeds and plants. Recently it has faced calls for bans in the UK and EU due to concerns about effects on humans and the environment.

Any results received outside of the specified holding time will receive a comment on the report to state the results could be compromised. Samples can be taken and posted Monday to Thursday. (For customers from outer Hebrides, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Cornwall: please check in advance to ensure overnight delivery is available in your area, refunds can not be given where services are not available).
• Where the return packaging includes ice-packs these need to be frozen the day before the sample is taken and shipped to us with the sample.
• Do not mix more than one sample per bottle; please ensure one sample bottle is used per sample outlet.
