This kit is right for you if you’re interested in knowing the types of plastics in your drinking water and their concentration. Utilizing superior testing methods for unparalleled accuracy, your laboratory results will include detection for the presence/absence of microplastics between 1-10 microns (μm), quantification down to 10μm, and polymer identification–for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene particles, for particles 10μm and larger. Certified lab testing Fast turnaround at lab (12 business days) Standard shipping included Expert treatment advice Please note: Particles greater than 10μm may not be identified by polymer if their smaller dimension is less than 10μm due to analytical limitations. Additionally, the smallest sizes of microplastics are typically the most difficult to detect but they are the most abundant. Methods for microplastics analysis are rapidly improving and inter-lab comparisons can be difficult. This Mail-to-Lab Kit Includes: All materials needed for sample collection, easy-to-follow instructions, chain of custody documentation, and a prepaid shipping for seamless shipping to an accredited lab. Lab Report: Reported results will include detailed analysis of microplastic particles including detection of microplastics down to 1 micron, quantification down to 10 microns, and polymer identification. Important: This test kit is designed for drinking water (tap or bottled water) only and cannot be used to analyze marine or surface water.
