Used to test for arsenic after a R.O system was installed. Was not to complicated to use and worked as advertised.

Here's how it works, which should answer most questions. Of course, read and follow the instructions for exact info.You need a Sample of whatever you want to test. For dry things, like wood chips, dirt, food, dried paint, etc. you will need about a spoonful. For liquid, like water, juice, coffee, etc. you will need a couple ounces. The color of your sample will not affect the test.You put your Sample in a small bottle (included) and add three chemicals (also included). Those three chemicals are not very toxic.The stuff in the sample bottle will bubble and make a gas. You put another cap on the bottle (looks like a regular lotion bottle cap) and stick the Test Strip in the hole. The gas changes the colors on the Test Strip. Then you look at the colors to decide if your stuff has arsenic.The Test Strips do contain mercuric bromide, which is toxic. After use, they need to go to a hazardous waste facility in most states. You can simply put the used strips in a ziploc bag, label it, and take to your local facility.The testing process generates arsine gas, which is extremely toxic. The test must be done outside. But the test also needs to be done where there is no wind.You need good nitrile gloves and eye protection. A proper fitting disposable respirator mask (N95 / N100) would be good to use also, for the three powdered chemicals; they are mostly irritants.Does the test work? Yes. Make sure there is ZERO wind. Make sure the temperature is correct. Don't place it in the sun - this will ruin your Test Strip.Note that this kit is best for basic testing, like dirt and treated wood - for drinking water, you want the Low Range or Ultra Low Range test.

This is a good test kit but you have to follow the instructions diligently to get a good result. The water temperature needs to be about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a little. You can heat the water sample in a microwave oven for a few seconds, if necessary. But it's easy to overheat the sample which will throw off the result. A digital thermometer is a handy thing to have for this kind of testing.The test strips contain mercury and the test generates arsine gas, so you have to test in a well ventilated area, and dispose of the test strips through your municipal toxic waste service (there may be a way to mail the used strips to a toxics handler).This test is for measuring arsenic concentrations between 0 ppb and 600 ppb (i.e. 0 to 600 micrograms per liter). The gradations are fairly coarse in this test. The same company also sells a different edition of the test with a lower range: kit # 481297-5, designed to test 0 to 300 ppb. The low-range test might give you a more accurate measurement -- especially if there is a low level of arsenic in your water. But the low-range kit is twice as expensive.There's even an ultra low-range kit, # 481300, designed to detect between 0 and 20 ppb. This would be the best kit for drinking water testing (there is no safe limit for arsenic in drinking water, despite the EPAs claim that under 10 ppb is safe). But this kit costs over $300.The only viable options I've seen other than these kits is to pay a certified lab (approximately $50 per test).

In the past I have used a professional test lab to provide water quality testing. In many years I have only rarely detected a slight presence of arsenic in our well water, and this test seems to be simpler and cheaper than taking a sample to a test lab.

The federal legal limit for arsenic is 10 this level is indistinguishable between 0 and 20 so trying to use this for home diagnostics is useless. However, it actually does test for arsenic. So it works but only for industrial applications.

I had some old pressure treated lumber that I wasn't sure if it was treated with CCA or ACQ process. I wanted to test for arsenic before I considered using it for raised gardens. This kit was relatively easy to do that, just followed the instructions and came up with a positive for arsenic (see picture) which I kind of expected on this old suspected CCA PT lumber. I also did a test on newer ACQ lumber which showed no signs of arsenic, and also made me feel like this test kit worked properly.

We tried this test kit on 4 different water sources. With two of these I was pretty sure had Arsenic in them. All results showed zero. We then had the water tested professionally and they 2 I suspected did in fast have arsenic with one of these being over the legal healthy limit. I would say this product does not work at all and I also compicated to use. We did follow the directions very carefully so I don't think that was the issue.

This was easy to use and helps give peace of mind that your water is safe (or needs filtered depending on results). We have a well system that tested high and after we put in a filter system I wanted to make sure it was safe to drink. Two years later we ordered this and it was easy to use and showed our filter is working! The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is because there are no gloves provided which would have been nice since you are opening and using different chemicals.
