Granite State Analytical

What Granite State Analytical does

Granite State Analytical, LLC is a New Hampshire-based environmental testing laboratory founded in 1987 that specializes in drinking water analysis for residential and commercial customers across New England. The company operates a NELAC/NELAP-accredited lab out of its Derry, NH headquarters (with a satellite office in North Conway, NH and an A&L Laboratory division in Auburn, ME acquired in August 2014), running EPA-compliant analytical methodologies under the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Water Act, and RCRA frameworks. Its service portfolio spans residential well water testing (bacteria, metals including arsenic, radon, uranium, and over 70 volatile organic compounds), certified operator and sampling agent services for public water systems (licensed for Grades I-III Treatment & Distribution in NH), lake and river environmental sampling, and laboratory subcontracting for other New England labs.

Revenue is generated primarily through pay-as-you-go per-test pricing ($30-$295 across 14+ package tiers including FHA/VA mortgage-compliant bundles) for residential customers and recurring professional services contracts for public water systems. Distribution is multi-channel: a 24/7 drop-off lobby with after-hours sample fridge, a network of at least seven partner drop-off locations across New Hampshire, courier services, UPS/USPS shipping, on-site Water Sampling House-Calls, and a Shopify-powered online storefront. The customer base is intentionally diversified — private well owners, small public water systems, major municipalities, NH home inspectors, and other laboratories — with no single anchor customer disclosed, and the Maine NELAP certification now lists the entity as 'Eurofins Derry', suggesting a possible corporate affiliation with global testing services group Eurofins.
