Conductivity Testing

Conductivity testing is offered in our Environmental department for dialysis water or drinking water samples. This test is applicable for non-New York potable water samples.

• Collect water sample in a Water Analysis Tube (50 mL trace-metal free tube).

• Minimum water sample volume of 20 mL.
• Secure lid.
• Use the bar code label to identify the specimen.
• Place the labeled bottle in a plastic Transport Bag with an absorbent sheet and seal shut.
• Refrigerate at 2°- 8° C.
• Estimated Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) can be measured by multiplying conductivity results by 0.55.
