We moved into a new house and wanted to test the existing garden boxes. Inside the kit includes the instructions for water testing, you’ll need to scan a QR code for soil and wood testing. Instructions are straightforward, you need to follow all steps timely. I did have to drill the existing wood to get a sample. Three out of the 4 boxes were negative, one showing moderate amounts. I’m happy with the kit.

Used this to test wood. Apparently I did it wrong the first time because the instructions could be better laid out when it comes to using the test strip. Went on YouTube and realized what I did wrong and the subsequent test went well. They're are 5 tests so it's okay since I don't do this kind of stuff everyday. Chalk one test up to a learning curve. It works and I would recommend it.

This test kit enabled us to establish that wood panels had arsenic in them. Followed the directions and quick results We used 2 people one to keep time and 2nd to implement the the process

Instructions on how to insert the test strip into the Reaction Vessel are TERRIBLE. The picture (Fig 2) shows the 'long side' of the strip relative to the Red Stripe as being UP but Fig 3 'seems' to show that the long side should be DOWN and inside the vessel relative to the Red Stripe.Turns out the LATTER is correct (long side goes into the vessel) but I wasted one test strip (20% of the kit value) discovering this.The last picture at the bottom of Instruction page 3 does NOT have Figure # on it but it does have an ARROW pointing to the bottom of the Reaction bottle but its never defined.This kind of ambiguity and confusion is just STUPID.

It was delivered fast. It was easy to perform. And it gave me the results.

Seems like a good product although no way for me to know for sure. My only quibble is to check wood for arsenic was difficult. Catching the shavings on cardboard or paper is tough because even a slight breeze will blow them away and off the surface. I put the test strip in backwards my first try even though I read the directions 3 times. But mission accomplished and I have three more tests that I do not need.

I got this to test whether the raised garden bed in the house I recently bought is safe to use for growing vegetables. Overall I am satisfied with the results but the product has some pluses and minuses.Firstly I read most of the reviews of this product and 2 of the most common complaints include the instructions were not clear how to put the strip inside and no instructions on how to dispose the final solution. The product that I got had clear instructions for both, so maybe the manufacturer has listened and added the missing information.I had to read the instructions a few times to make sure I follow the steps correctly, so overall a bit complicated process, but not too bad. One of the most difficult portion of the process is the cleanup part. The gray powder thing sticks to the plastic bottle, and doesn't come off easily even with vigorous rinsing.For testing wood, it specifies how much sample to get, but first time my strip came out dark brown, which was beyond the strip limits and basically I had to test again, next time getting a smaller sample. So not sure if the instructions are incorrect or my wood sample was too toxic.Since I had more tests left, I decided to test the soil too. Now the instructions don't mention anything at all about how much soil sample to take, even though it says it is for testing soil too. I ran a couple of tests with different soil sample amounts, but some instructions on this will be helpful.
