Fentanyl Surface Residue Kit

You can't see it, smell it, or clean your way to certainty — you can measure it. Laboratory surface-wipe testing for fentanyl residue, for turnover, fleets, remediation clearance and property transactions.

$299/ kit
What it tests for
  • Fentanyl, quantified down to 0.1 micrograms on the sampled area
  • Reported as micrograms per wipe, and per 100 cm² where a full template area was sampled
  • The manufacturing-lot blank value, printed on every report alongside your result and never subtracted from it
Why test

A property that has had fentanyl in it looks exactly like one that has not — no smell, no stain, no cue of any kind. For a landlord taking back a unit, a buyer in due diligence, or a fleet manager returning a vehicle to service, that leaves nothing to go on but assumption.

The legal framework is moving toward documentation: California runs its contaminated-property programme under the Methamphetamine or Fentanyl Contaminated Property Cleanup Act, and the EPA has published voluntary cleanup guidelines covering fentanyl. This kit replaces the assumption with a measurement — a defined area, wiped to a standard pattern, analysed to a tenth of a microgram, on a chain of custody with a date on it.

How to collect your sample

Choose a smooth, non-porous surface — a countertop, finished table, door, hard flooring, a smooth painted wall, an appliance face or a vehicle console. Porous materials (unsealed wood, fabric, carpet, drywall paper) behave completely differently and are not comparable.

Put on clean gloves, lay the 10 cm × 10 cm template flat to define the 100 cm² area, and wipe with firm pressure: vertical pass, fold inward, horizontal pass, fold inward, then a perimeter pass. Seal the wipe in the tube and record the location, surface type, area, date, time and Sample ID. Return in the prepaid mailer.

This kit is for trace surface residue only. Do not collect visible powders, pills, crystals, unknown liquids or paraphernalia. If visible suspected drug material is present, stop and contact local authorities or a licensed remediation contractor.

How the lab analyzes it

The laboratory extracts the collected residue from the wipe and analyses the extract by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry under NIOSH Method 9111M, developed specifically for illicit-drug residues collected from surfaces. Fentanyl is quantified down to a tenth of a microgram.

Your report carries three numbers: the result, the laboratory reporting limit, and the blank value for the manufacturing lot your kit came from. The blank is never subtracted from your result — both figures appear, so anyone reading the report can see the background rather than take a corrected number on trust. That's what makes the report hold up.

What this test does not tell you
  • There is currently no state or federal clearance standard for fentanyl surface residue. The report gives a measured concentration on a defined area — a documented record, not a regulatory pass/fail. (Methamphetamine, by contrast, has numeric criteria in several states.)
  • A result describes the surface and area sampled. It does not establish that a whole room is contaminated, that a property is clear, that a drug was manufactured on site, or that any person did anything.
  • Use a smooth, non-porous surface. Recovery from porous materials has not been established and those results are not comparable.
  • Fentanyl analogs (e.g. carfentanil) are a separate analyte question from fentanyl itself — confirm the current analyte list at the time of ordering.
The Sacred Sampling standard

Laboratory data — not estimates.

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

Accredited-lab analysisNamed, published methods on real instruments.
Chain-of-custody on every kitTraceability from the moment you seal the sample.
A measurement, not a verdictWe report what the lab measured — the decision is yours.
Ready when you are

Best for: property managers, short-term rental & hotel operators, vehicle fleets, remediation contractors, buyers in due diligence, attorneys and insurers.
