For some of these tests (ammonia-sulfate) we have developed a lab procedure which includes a standard/calibration curve and sample results.

After these are tests such as lead, pH and titration-based assays which we are actively working on. We should have a lab procedure for these tests in the near future. 

Further down the list are Assays which we are not currently working on but may be of interest in the future.
