Batching & Turnaround Times
HRI testing services follow a structured workflow based on sample volume and method type.

Standard & Expedited Turnaround

Once samples are received and minimum sample requirements are met:

Standard: ~10 business days
Expedited: ~5 business days (150% of standard pricing)
Rush: ~2 business days (200% of standard pricing)

Rush turnaround is not available for Pesticide Multi-Residue (PMR) panels.

Batching Requirements

All test panels except Glyphosate & AMPA require a minimum of 3 samples to initiate analysis.

Orders with fewer than 3 samples will be held until the batch requirement is met.
This may extend turnaround time to up to 30 business days.

Special Cases

Flexible (Batched Orders):
Orders that do not meet minimum sample requirements are processed as part of a batch, with turnaround times of up to 30 business days.
Developmental Methods:
New or custom testing methods may require additional setup and validation, with turnaround times of up to 6 weeks.

Discuss Your Testing Needs
Every testing project is different. HRI works with clients to determine the best analytical approach based on sample type, research goals, and the compounds of interest.

If you are interested in laboratory testing services or have a specific project in mind, please get in touch with us at info@hrilabs.org to discuss your testing needs.
