Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory
About the Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory
The Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory provides a wide range of testing programs for soils, water, plants, biosolids and other agricultural materials.
The Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory is part of The Pennsylvania State University College of Agricultural Sciences. Our goal is to promote practical, innovative, and affordable solutions to existing and emergent issues related to nutrient management and environmental quality.
We provide analytical testing and research-based recommendations to support sustainable resource management decisions. The lab offers comprehensive analyses of soil, water, plant tissue, manure, compost, and other agricultural materials. The fee-based programs are available to all University faculty and staff as well as the general public.

The laboratory will be closed on November 26-27, 2026 for the Thanksgiving holiday and December 21, 2026-January 2, 2027 for winter break. The laboratory will reopen on January 4, 2027.
To avoid delays or issues with sample holding times, please do not ship time-sensitive samples, such as water or biosolids samples, during these closures.
