I had 2 ICP tests ran of the exact same water sample. Took a cup of water out of the tank and filled all test vials from it. Sent both tests in and this was what I got back.
How accurate are these tests supposed to be?

These are side by side test results of the exact same water sample,

It would all depend on what the margin of errors exist for each test, but I don't see anything at just a cursory check that is that different.
 
I’m also not seeing any difference worth asking about. They seem closer than I would have expected. lol
