Heavy Metal Testing Kit

Heavy metal test kit to check urine, tap drinking water, soil and other materials for heavy metals poisoning

The Heavy Metals Test General Kit is designed for the home user to self-test first morning urine or saliva for the presence of 8 toxic heavy metals: cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, zinc. It is simple to use with clear instructions providing a colour result within 20 minutes.

Use this general heavy metal test to:

• Test for Cadmium
• Test for Cobalt
• Test for Copper
• Test for Lead
• Test for Manganese
• Test for Mercury – including mercury amalgam poisoning testing
• Test for Nickel
• Test for Zinc

The test is a general test for heavy metal poisoning that will indicate the presence of metal ions in urine or water samples. To test for the specific metals listed above and others, we also offer specialist heavy metals test kits for greater accuracy. If the general heavy metals test kit detects the presence of metals you should consider using a specific heavy metals testing kit. Or try hair analysis for accurate laboratory results with dietary recommendations.

How To Use

• Add the required volume of the sample solution (saliva, urine, water, etc) to be tested in to the green solution in the test tube using the pipette provided
• Close the test tube with the cap and shake vigorously. Allow the solutions to stand on the cap of the test tube for 1 minute (see below if testing urine).
• Observe a band or ring of about 1cm wide just below the surface of the solution in the test tube.
• A colour change will indicate the presence of the heavy metals (see chart on label of kit).
• If the ring turns grey it indicates that there is more than one of the metals present at the same level of concentration (see chart on label of kit).
• If there is no colour change, i.e. the solution stays green, there are no heavy metals present.

When heavy metal urine test is conducted, the solution may be more stable and the colour may not occur for up to 10 minutes. The solution turns to a bright yellow-orange after 30 minutes caused by the decomposition of the solution and should be ignored.

Results

• A Green colour result – no metals present
• A Grey colour result – presence of a combination of the metals at the same concentration at a low level
• A Bluish Purple to Brown  colour result – presence of Copper and possibly Cobalt
• A Beige colour result – presence of Cadmium and possibly Nickel
• An orange colour result – presence of Mercury and usually when no other metals are present
• A pink to red colour result – presence of Zinc and Lead

Caution

• Please keep in a safe place away from the reach of children or pets.
• Once the test has been completed dispose of the solution safely by flushing down the toilet.
• The contents of the kit should not come in to contact with food or consumables.
• Wash hands after use.
