Complete 37 Parameter Heavy Metals Water Analysis Testing

With sample bottle delivery to your door, full reports, sampling instructions and more (see below for a complete listing).

Uranium, *Mercury, Lead, Copper, Zinc & Arsenic are just some of the common health concerns in most areas of the world, both arising from natural and human influenced sources. Common contributors in most homes are taps and brass fixtures, lead solder, and also copper or galvanized pipes and fittings. (see the complete 37 Metal list below)

Know your water. Many people have completed hair analysis testing only to find out that they are ready have high concentrations of heavy metals in their body. These tests will help you determine if the water you drink is truly safe or not!

Notes on the Main Sample Bottle: uses Nitric Acid as the preservative in our heavy metal test sample bottles. The purpose of this is nitric acid reduces the sample pH to below 2, which prevents the metals from adhering to the container walls or precipitating as oxides or hydroxides.

*Notes on Mercury* For specifically testing Mercury, we use a separate 40 mL glass vial which preserved with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Use caution when handling this bottle, gloves, eye goggles and mask are needed. Do not wash out the bottle and be careful to not splash water out of the bottle when filling. If the bottle over fills, cap it immediately and wash the bottle and spill area.

Extra Safety Notes: If anything from the containers gets on your skin, in your eyes, flush with water and seek immediate medical attention. If anything is accidentally ingested, flush mouth with water or milk and seek emergency medical attention.
