- GC Analysis: Php 3,360 (per active ingredient per sample)
- LC Analysis: Php 3,130 (per active ingredient per sample)
Do I need to attach photos of test smaples and analytical standards?
- No. Visual verification of your samples will be conducted upon your visit.
- Photos of test samples and analytical standards are required if the request for analysis will be endorsed to an FPA-recognized laboratory.

A prompt says "Please try again. Something went wrong. We couldn't book that appointment. Please reload the page and try again."
Reload page. If not resolved, please try again after a few minutes. Otherwise, select another date of appointment.
I have multiple product registration applications with different active ingredients. Can I submit all my samples in one appointment day?
- For clients submitting multiple samples with different active ingredients, separate appointments must be booked for each active ingredient. However, all sample submissions and payments shall be completed during the first scheduled appointment. Clients will not be required to return on the subsequent appointment dates.
- Please manage your sample submissions with respect to the capacity of the lab. The appointment system is tailored to accommodate one active ingredient (max of four samples) for LC analysis and another one active ingredient for GC analysis.
When can I expect the release of test results?
The regular turnaround time for each analysis is 20 working days. You may start the Day 1 count of the turnaround time 24 hours after the submission and payment of your analysis request.
I would like to submit my sample to an FPA-recognized laboratory. Should I still book an appointment?
No. The LSD appointment system is only intended for pesticide sample submissions to FPA-LSD.
How to proceed with the sample endorsement to an FPA-recognized laboratory?
- Send an email of request for sample endorsement to lsd@fpa.da.gov.ph with the following attachments:
- Certificate of Analysis of formulated samples and technigal grade materials
- Certificate of Analysis of analytical standard
