Named on the official list The state list names this analyte (or a column for it) for this lab.
Group-level certification Certified for a parent group (e.g. 'Inorganics') that includes this analyte. Confirm the specific test with the lab.
Partial group certification The list marks the group as 'Partial'. Confirm this analyte with the lab.
Subcontracted The lab sends this analyte to another accredited lab (MDH 'X*').

TCEQ lists 100 drinking-water analytes this lab is accredited for. TCEQ database: lab type Commercial; 'Commercial?' Yes; 'Is Primary?' No. Repaired: the list prints the street as "1037 MacArthur Road"; Pennsylvania's list (the lab's home state) and New York's list print 1037F MacArthur Road for this lab, so that is used.
