YORK TALK | May / June 2016

Welcome to Pennsylvania!


In the last few months, a number of YORK clients have requested analysis for projects in Pennsylvania...

YORK is happy to announce that additional licensing has been granted in Pennsylvania for aqueous, soils and solid materials testing.

YORK's Pennsylvania ID number is 68-04440. Please share this information with the project managers on your team.



YORK is a NELAP accredited laboratory and maintains comprehensive certification in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and now Pennsylvania.

For more information, contact clientservices@yorklab.com.


YORK will be closed on May 30, 2016


 
Courier Service will resume on Tuesday 5/31. Please remember to schedule all bottle requests and sample pickups before Friday 5/27 or earlier so that we can accommodate your request.

Please plan accordingly for short holding time parameters and to ensure results are received when needed. Weekends and holidays do not count as a "business day" when calculating analysis turn-around-time.

Lab data will still be available via DataPORT when the office is closed. If you do not yet have access to the DataPORT, or if you have any questions, please email the YORK client service team at clientservices@yorklab.com.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
