Surface Residue Kit

A broad chemical screen of what's left on a surface.

Coming soon
What it tests for
  • Surfactants / detergents
  • Acid & base residues
  • Solvents (alcohols, glycols, halogenated)
  • Aldehyde residues
  • Heavy metals
Why it matters

Useful after cleaning, renovation, or a move-in to verify that chemical residues - solvents, harsh cleaners, metals - aren't lingering on counters, floors, or play areas where children and pets contact them.

Residual solvents and strong acids/bases can cause skin and respiratory irritation; metal residues add toxicity concerns on food-contact and high-touch surfaces.

How to collect your sample

Wipe a measured surface area with the provided pad using gloves, seal in the vial, and return per instructions.

How the lab analyzes it

A multi-instrument screen: GC-MS and LC-MS/MS for organics and solvents, ICP-MS for heavy metals, plus pH and conductivity for acid/base and ionic residues - a broad 'what's on this surface' profile.

Did you know
  • 'Clean-smelling' surfaces can still carry detergent and solvent residue that a wipe test will reveal.
  • pH and conductivity quickly flag leftover acidic or alkaline cleaner that organic tests alone would miss.
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.
