Water Quality Testing Lab in Delhi: Advanced Testing for Drinking & Groundwater
AumNamah Radioanalytical Laboratory in New Delhi helps organisations investigate radioactivity in drinking water, groundwater and industrial water. Our water quality testing service focuses on radiological parameters, with a test plan matched to the water source and the purpose of the investigation.
Radiological testing for drinking water and groundwater
Water from a borewell, surface source or treatment system can require different investigations. Gross alpha and gross beta measurements provide an initial screen for radioactivity. Where the project needs a named radionuclide, discuss uranium analysis or an appropriate isotope-specific measurement with our team. A radiological screen alone does not establish the overall potability of water.
Choose a test panel for your water source
Tell us whether the sample represents untreated groundwater, treated drinking water, packaged water, RO water, DM water or process water. Include the collection point, any previous result and the reporting requirement. These details help define the analysis and the detection capability needed. Chemical and microbiological parameters require their own test panels; confirm their availability separately before placing an order.
Understand the water analysis report
Activity concentration for water is commonly expressed in becquerels per litre (Bq/L). A useful review considers the measurement result, its uncertainty and the stated detection limit together. A result below the detection limit does not mean that the sample contains absolutely no radioactivity. If a screening result needs investigation, targeted radionuclide analysis can help clarify the source.
Preparing your sample
Identify each water source and sampling point separately. Ask the laboratory for the required volume, container, preservation and holding conditions before collection. Record the date and time of sampling and whether water was collected before or after treatment. Do not add a preservative without the laboratory's instructions.

- Share your requirement. Send the sample description, test objective and reporting specification.
- Confirm the analytical scope. Agree the method, sample quantity, applicable accreditation scope, quotation and turnaround before submission.
- Submit the agreed sample. Follow the laboratory's handling instructions and include a completed service request form.
Frequently asked questions
Does radiological water testing cover all drinking water quality parameters?
No. Radiological analysis measures selected radioactivity parameters. Drinking water assessment can also require chemical, physical and microbiological tests. Agree the complete panel and its availability before submitting a sample.
Can gross alpha and gross beta identify uranium in groundwater?
These are screening measurements and do not identify every individual radionuclide. If uranium is the concern, request a discussion of a suitable uranium-specific analysis.
How much water should I send?
The required volume and container depend on the selected method and detection requirement. Contact the laboratory before sampling so the sample meets the agreed analytical needs.
Discuss your analysis requirement
