Submit a Sample
Sample submission guidelines effective 3/24/20
Request an off-site assessment: please do not send a sample without contacting us first at plantlab@colostate.edu. You may also call us at (970) 491-6590 and leave a message. We will check messages regularly and return your call as soon as possible.
After an initial virtual assessment of your plant/arthropod question or problem, we will determine if we will do virtual diagnosis or if we need to do further testing in the lab. If testing in the lab is necessary, we will give you further submission instructions via phone or email.
