DEXSIL Lead Test is a sensitive field test for paint or other non-porous surfaces suspected to be contaminated with lead. DEXSIL Lead Test can be used to check for lead on painted surfaces, objects exposed to lead-containing dust, alloys with traces of lead, and any surface that will leach lead into the environment. Each swab is a self-contained single use test configured for ease of use and precise delivery of the test reagents. Reagents are premeasured in crushable ampules contained in a plastic tube and safety sleeve. To ensure a long shelf life, the reagents are sealed in separate ampules and only activated at the time of the test. Engineered to meet or exceed the most conservative industry standards for sensitivity and specificity for a surface-wipe lead test kit, the DEXSIL Lead Test system was developed using rigorous laboratory protocols.
