Aldehyde Wipe Kit

Measure aldehyde residue on the surfaces you actually touch.

Coming soon
What it tests for
  • Formaldehyde
  • Acetaldehyde
  • Glyoxal
  • Glutaraldehyde
  • Other regulated aldehydes
Why it matters

This complements the airborne formaldehyde badge by measuring residue settled on surfaces - relevant after fumigation, on new furniture and laminate, or in spaces using glutaraldehyde/glyoxal disinfectants.

Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and respiratory irritant; glutaraldehyde is a strong sensitizer that can trigger occupational asthma and dermatitis.

How to collect your sample

Wipe a measured surface area with the DNPH-treated pad using gloves, seal it in the vial, and return per instructions.

How the lab analyzes it

The DNPH-treated wipe traps aldehydes on contact; the lab runs HPLC (EPA TO-11A adapted for wipes) to quantify each aldehyde on the surface.

Did you know
  • Glutaraldehyde is widely used as a cold sterilant in clinics and salons - a common occupational exposure.
  • Surface and air aldehyde levels can diverge, so a clean air reading doesn't guarantee clean surfaces.
The Sacred Sampling standard

Laboratory data — not estimates.

Independently operated, with no ties to filter or remediation companies. Every sample is analyzed by an accredited partner laboratory under EPA-referenced methods, with a documented chain of custody — and your data is yours.

Chain-of-custody on every kitTraceability from the moment you cap the bottle.
Independent by designWe sell tests, not filters — no incentive to over-report.
