Quote from email from Pro Lab:

"The office in Toronto is basically a warehouse and laboratory. All ordered are placed through our office in Florida. Orders are shipped from the Canada warehouse."

So, call the Florida number to order supplies. They ship from and you send samples to Toronto.

Hello Forum, I am very new to this community. I hope that my expertise in Analytical Chemistry, Asbestos analysis and other related areas can be used by NACHI members.

If I can comment on the topic: $7 sample might work in USA, but not likely doable in Canada. USA regulation requires detect asbestos down to 1% per sample. In Canada it must be down to 0.5% or less - this is Ontario Ministry of Labour standard. In Manitoba it is down to 0.1%. As a laboratory manager a want to assure you that proper asbestos analysis for Ontario standards takes from 20 minute on a simple sample to 1.5 hour on complicated one. It makes sense that proper test should cost more.

I called the Pro Lab yesterday and they quoted me very reasonably, but significantly more than $7.

I hope to offer my laboratory services at competitive price very soon. Laboratory will be based in London, Ontario.

Meantime, if you are interested, please take a look on short training video that I prepared for my clients: How laboratory tests Vermiculite for asbestos impurities:
