Review: Quick, cheap, easy, my positive and negative controls worked. - Refinishing kitchen cabinets on my own and I was reasonable confident that there's no lead, but my house is old, and I can't be sure. (I think the kitchen rebuilt in the 90s, and there's not a lot of paint layers, but i really don't know.) 16$ seemed like a reasonable price for some extra piece of mind. I've read the home kits aren't always accurate, and the only downside would be what to do with a potential false positive, or difficult to interpret color change. The test is easy to use, dip the Q-tip like swab in vinegar, and rub it on the surface for 30 seconds. Then compare to the color chart. (It fades from yellow to a dark pink red) I tested several areas, and the swab stayed an unambiguous yellow. So far so good. My negative control was the clean floor. Next - I tested some solder wire with lead, and it turned a definitive pinkish red. I only gave 4 stars for accuracy, because i don't know for sure. Overall, if you are looking for a cheap, quick, and easy confirmation that your project is probably safe, this is a great kit. I'd probably go with a professional for a major renovation if you had serious concerns that there was lead.
Review: Accurate Lead Testing Kit, Quick and Reliable Results... - Tested this kit on multiple surfaces, including some I suspected had traces of lead, and it worked as advertised. Results showed within 30 seconds, and I could easily confirm the presence of lead. The instructions were clear, and with 30 swabs included, I had more than enough to test all the areas I was concerned about. This kit is a "must-have" for anyone looking to identify lead hazards quickly and accurately. Note that lead is NOT only on walls and paint.. A lot of products coming from overseas are testing positive for traces of lead, and inside homes, there may be lead on plumbing, paint, ceramic tiles and glazes in some homes or pottery especially with decorative glazes may contain lead... Plastics/Rubber/Silicone/Electronics etc.. Furniture and antique toys, and get this > Bathtubs, it turns out that older porcelain-coated bathtubs can have lead in the glaze and leak lead over time... In addition: Electronics and Cables: Some older electronics and cables (like power cords) contain lead in their coatings. If in doubt, CHECK IT.. This kit will do that... Good luck.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work to test on dishes? I have antique dishes that I'm concerned might have a lead glaze.**
A: I’m sorry our test isn’t intended for testing dishes, it most likely will detect the lead but there is a false negative rate higher than is acceptable to us. So we cannot recommend it, if you would like to try please pm us after buying and we will talk further.

**Q: The swabs are consistently negative (orange brown) , but the painting looks kind of pink. Is this (+) for lead?**
A: I had the same issue with these swabs. In the area where the swab was used the area turned very light pink, kind of, while the swab stayed light orange/light tan. Until I hit a two areas on the outside of the house where the swab turned purple. Then I knew the swabs were working correctly.

**Q: Can this be used on steel pet dishes?**
A: I would think so, but you might have to scrape away any surface layers of metal to get to what is underneath if that is what you are trying to test.  If you think the dish is lead and there is nothing else on the surface it might work directly on the surface layer of metal.

**Q: What is the accuracy rate for negative results? (In my case I would like to test old interior paint)**
A: I did not get any results when using this.  I do not recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detected lead on some painted wood, missed others.
*by P***I on April 13, 2024*

I bought these to test multiple painted surfaces in my pre-1978 home, including old basement cabinetry left by a previous owner. The "SCITUS Know" swabs alerted me to the presence of lead in dark green paint on a wooden cabinet, but could not be used on badly weathered outdoors paint on a metal shed that was a similar hue (they only lifted the green paint color from the surface). Not being able to use these on weathered paint on a metal shed (ferrous metal) prompted me to buy a different, more expensive EPA and Wisconsin Department of Human Services approved test that uses paint chips. The more expensive EPA approved test confirmed the presence of lead in the paint on the wooden cabinet, was able to successfully test chips of the weathered exterior paint on the metal shed (negative) that the "SCITUS Know" test merely transferred large amounts of pigment from, and it further detected lead in a white painted cabinet and set of wooden shelves in my basement that the SCITUS product did *not* identify as leaded. Thus, I believe the product may lack adequate sensitivity to lead, and that seems like a problem if your goal is to ensure safety in your home. The bottom line--do not use the results of these tests as an assurance of safety before DIY remodeling/repainting or bringing old painted furniture or toys into spaces with your kids. You and your family may not actually be lead safe based on a negative SCITUS test if they lack sensitivity. However, it seems like a positive test (in my experience) is most likely accurate. Edit 5/7/2024: I am pleased to report an apparent improvement in performance (details below). With my newest batch of test swabs I *DID* get a concordant positive result on the white painted cabinet and basement shelf. Previously these items registered as negative on the SCITUS test (used according to manufacturer directions) while the more expensive and risky EPA approved paint chip test was positive. Edit 5/9/2024: I've updated my rating to 4 stars given the apparent improvement in performance. I may update further if the manufacturer chooses to offer more detailed instructions regarding swab saturation. I note that the instructions for the SCITUS test do not indicate precisely how much vinegar one should use to wet the swab or a recommended technique. I encourage the manufacturer to make these directions more explicit to standardize the testing procedure. With my repeated testing--which yielded results that matched the EPA paint chip test--I held and twirled the swab in about 1.5 inches of white vinegar in a clean, transparent plastic cup for 5 - 8 seconds. This was a longer saturation time than before--previously I merely dipped the swab for 1 - 2 seconds until it turned yellow. Perhaps it makes a difference if the swab is well saturated. This kit is a very good value, and I highly recommend it to quickly and affordably screen painted surfaces--but not to make potentially life and health altering decisions affecting young children. In my case, I have been able to use positives to find items to discard ASAP (e.g. old furniture and wood with mystery paint left by previous owner), or to handle with care and encapsulate or replace ASAP (garage window frames, underside portions of a staircase). It would not be safe to make remodeling/repainting decisions affecting young children based on the negatives, but the swabs are still very useful for finding some problem areas.
