Scitus Lead Test Kit with 30 Testing Swabs Rapid Test Results in 30 Seconds Just Dip in White Vinegar to Use Lead Testing Kits for Home Use Reagent Lead Check Suitable for All Painted Surfaces

Tested this kit on multiple surfaces, including some I suspected had traces of lead, and it worked as advertised. Results showed within 30 seconds, and I could easily confirm the presence of lead. The instructions were clear, and with 30 swabs included, I had more than enough to test all the areas I was concerned about. This kit is a "must-have" for anyone looking to identify lead hazards quickly and accurately. Note that lead is NOT only on walls and paint.. A lot of products coming from overseas are testing positive for traces of lead, and inside homes, there may be lead on plumbing, paint, ceramic tiles and glazes in some homes or pottery especially with decorative glazes may contain lead... Plastics/Rubber/Silicone/Electronics etc.. Furniture and antique toys, and get this > Bathtubs, it turns out that older porcelain-coated bathtubs can have lead in the glaze and leak lead over time...In addition: Electronics and Cables: Some older electronics and cables (like power cords) contain lead in their coatings. If in doubt, CHECK IT.. This kit will do that... Good luck.

I bought these because a slightly less expensive brand gave me false positives. These swabs appear to be significantly more reliable and less likely to generate false positives.I tried a head-to-head test with city water, suburban water, and distilled water that I made myself with a home distiller.With the other swabs that are activated by water, I received a positive result from both city and suburban water. This occurred just by dipping the swabs in the water prior to testing for lead. Both city and suburban waters turned strongly pink and the distilled water remained yellow. The residue in the distiller was also strongly positive for lead with a strong magenta result.With these swabs, which are activated by white vinegar, all three waters remained yellow and there was no indication of lead.I also tested various non-ferrous metals with known compositions such as brass, bronze, and copper. All were negative, as they should be, with these swabs.With the other, water activated, swabs, several samples of these metals were falsely positive.Both types of swabs were strongly positive with known samples of lead.These swabs are accurate, according to my testing.

Deze gekocht omdat we veel verf moesten verwijderen in ons huis. We vermoede dat er lood in zat dus geprobeerd met deze wattenstaafjes te testen. Heel duidelijk was het resultaat niet waardoor je eigenlijk alleen maar meer onzeker bent. Hetgeen wat je juist wel wilt.

Moved into a older house around the era of when lead paint was used alot, that needed alot of work but we wanted to make sure the paint was lead free before we started work as with kids around we didn't want to risk it, super easy to use testing kit all we needed was white vinegar which we had and off we went, plenty of tests in the kit for the money, I'm sure it does say in the listing but make sure you test the back layer of paint (scrape a little off) we was lead free so gave away the remaining to a friend who used them and they tested positive which he knew about previous so definitely work also! They are a little on the expensive side for what they are but for the amount you get they are worth it, and you also can't put a price on your health

Lo compré para ver si unas sillas metálicas pintadas llevaban plomo. Probé primero con algo que sí llevaba plomo y lo detecta perfectamente.
