Recommended for targeted testing of surfactants as MBAS. MBAS–also called methylene blue active substances–testing can detect the presence of anionic surfactants (such as detergents or other foaming agents) in water through a color reaction process with methylene blue dye. The presence of MBAS in a water sample serves as an indicator of nearby industrial waste dumping or other related contamination (such as those from PFAS/PFOS/PFOA). This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed analysis of surfactants in drinking water by MBAS assay. MBAS Water Test Is this the right test for you? What our scientists say: “ The presence of MBAS indicates nearby industrial waste dumping or related contamination. This package detects the presences of surfactants, such as foaming detergents–which can impart a bad taste and lead to foam formation. " This is the right test if you: Water tastes soapy or bitter. Water foams. Concerned about contamination related to human activity. Looking to determine if industrial or other anthropogenic-related contamination has impacted the water supply. How it works 1.
