Perchlorate Testing

http://www.epa.gov/safewater/standard/ucmr/aprvlabs.html#percanchor

I'm told that perchlorate testing wholesale costs about $20. Here in Sacramento I can't get a retail lab to test for perchlorate for less than $600 -- one lab will accept a minimum of 6 samples at $100 a piece, while the other will accept minimum of 10 samples at $60 a piece.

Pat-Chem Laboratories of Moorpark CA, however, has informed me (Sept. 2003) that they are willing to test for perchlorate at a rate of $65.00 per sample with no minimum sample size.
