10 PPB Lead Detection
This rapid lead test detects lead in drinking water down to 10 parts per billion (PPB). There is no other rapid test in the world that is as sensitive as this product.
Cost-Effective Test
At such a low cost for reliable lead detection, the Leaping Lynx rapid lead test provides a high amount of value for money. Lab tests provide the same results and cost hundreds.
Laboratory-Validated
Every single test we produce is manufactured according to high-level ISO standards. We ensure that your test will provide lab-accurate results with every purchase.
Detect Lead at Tiny Levels
With a limit of lead detection of 10 parts per billion (PPB), the Leaping Lynx rapid lead test is the most sensitive and powerful test in its class worldwide.
Similar Results to the Lab
Rather than waiting weeks for your city lab results and paying a large fee, you get virtually the same data with this test for an inexpensive cost and in 15 minutes.
Quick and Easy
The testing procedure could not be easier - simply insert water to the test tube, shake, and pipette onto the test strip. Just as easy as an antigen test.
EPA-Level Detection
The EPA Action Level for lead in water is 15 PPB - this test detects to an even lower than that level, to keep your home and family safe.

Bottom line: good for drinking water (not good for industrial wastewater), and it tests to see if your lead is above 10 ppb or not. Simple to use. Good test for houses with plumbing from 1975 or earlier, before they phased out leaded solder for health reasons.GOOD for DRINKING WATER. I can't tell you how hard it was to find a test that is! Most of them are branded as "drinking water test kits" but really they're designed for use with industrial wastewater so none of the testing scales (minimum and maximum amounts) are suitable for drinking water. BUT THIS ONE IS!!! And it's super easy to use - it's like a pregnancy test. Follow the directions: siphon a small amount of water into the included vial, shake it up, wait for it to finish reacting with the chemical in the vial, then put it onto the test strip and wait a few minutes... and finally count the number of lines you can see on the strip.With lead, the SAFE limit is 10 ppb. Note that is parts per BILLION (not ppm parts per MILLION), a lot of other "drinking water test kits" have test strips set to test for ppm instead of ppb because they are expecting INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER which will have extremely high levels of lead. If your drinking water has even 1 ppm of lead in it, then you are already dead. Because 1 ppm = 1000 ppb. And the safe limit for lead is only 10 ppb. This is a big part of the reason why I say most other test kits are NOT SUITABLE for drinking water - but THIS TEST IS.The US EPA sets their limit above the "safe limit" of 10 ppb, at 15 ppb, because it is TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to remove lead below 15 ppb without spending an insane amount of money and electricity to do so; they increased the legal limit from 10 to 15 a few years ago because if they kept the limit at ten then a bunch of city water utilities would have had to shut down due to lead contamination since they lack the equipment and funding necessary to clean it any better than 15 ppb. But the BIOLOGICALLY SAFE limit is 10 ppb or less, and that is the limit that this test kit is set for. Not 15. However, this test is simply an indicator not a sliding scale test. So if you have lead at 9.9 ppb or less, you'll get a negative result from the test. But if your water has lead at 10.1 ppb or more, you'll get a positive result. So all you can say is whether your water is above or below 10 ppb, you cannot be sure exactly what the number really is.

This kit is a must-have for anyone concerned about lead in their drinking water. The 3-step process is straightforward, and results are ready in just 15 minutes. I appreciate its sensitivity to 10 ppb, which is below the EPA limit. The instructions were clear, and the test helped confirm the safety of my water. While I wish it included multiple tests for validation, this is a reliable and easy tool to ensure your household's water quality.

I got two of these and BOTH did not register ANYTHING so it was a waste of money and i waste of time and id like my money back. both times i did them nothing came up at all so now we have to spend again to find another to test our water. this was a disappointment for sure!!! company should really refund us

The instructions were clear and the test was easy to perform. This test indicated the level of lead for water drawn from my cold water kitchen faucet was below 10 ppb. A prior water sample had been tested using the Safe Home test kit. It indicated the lead level exceeded the 3.8 ppb limit set by that test. Internet searches told me the 10 ppb limited was established by the EPA in December 2020 when it updated the Lead and Copper Rule. Exceeding the 10 ppb trigger level requires that at least some water systems begin service line replacement programs. Also, EPA modeling apparently suggests that lead concentrations in excess of 3.8 ppb could boost some children’s lead exposure above acceptable levels (using tap water to prepare baby formula was highlighted as a potential problem). Hence, the 3.8 ppb level set by the Safe Home Test. Also, an EPA Revised Rule reference guide suggested my water sample should be drawn from a line that had not been used for 6+ hours and that the sample should be taken from the first liter of water drawn from that line when the test was conducted. Apparently, more lead can accumulate in a stagnant water line as time passes. This 10 ppb test has me feeling comfortable continuing to use the water that flows through the galvanized water pipes in my 1949 home. (If I had an infant at home, I would use bottled water if I was preparing formula). A final note: The pipette is inside the sealed foil bag together with the test cassette.

I needed to test for lead in the water by request of the local water department (They did not provide the test, but will credit our account accordingly). This test was easy and straightforward, has decent previous reviews, and ok price. I feel more than satisfied that I got what I paid for.

We needed to check the well water at our son's house for lead. When his neighbor's well recently was worked on, they found it tested positive. So we got him this test and in 15 minites were able to get the results. This was fortunately easy to use and to read.
