Attogene’s Lead Rapid Lab Lateral Flow Kit can be used for the screening of Lead in water and food samples at greater than or equal to 10 ppb in a laboratory setting. Unlike the field-based kit, the lab kit is intended for a more technical end user who will be evaluating samples in a laboratory setting.
Lead contamination is a serious worldwide environmental problem. As it is difficult to detoxify by chemical or biological methods, gradual Lead ion accumulation in the nervous and cardiovascular systems of the human body can subsequently cause serious diseases. Long-term health consequences of drinking Lead-contaminated food and water include brain, heart, kidney, lungs and immune system problems for adults, and the physical and mental development delays in infants and children. Attogene’s Lead Lateral Flow test gives results conforming of 10ppb or greater in 5-15 minutes.
This is a revolutionary product designed to make Lead testing in easy and affordable. This fast screening test kit contains 10 tests with everything needed for accurate results of unsafe lead levels. With reliable results in only 10 minutes, this test kit clearly gives results confirming Lead in water and conforming to the EPA guideline of 15 ppb (µg/L).
Sample Collection:
1. Take a first-draw sample
Immediately after opening a faucet or valve, collect a 250 mL sample. This sample should be from each tap used for consumption.
2. Take a flush sample
If first-draw sample results show elevated lead levels of 5 ppb or higher, collect a flush sample. To do this, ensure water has not been used for between 8 to 18 hours, then collect the sample at 30 seconds.
3. Take sequential samples
If you want to test a lead service line, collect 8 to 10 sequential samples, depending on how far the line is from the tap.
Standards and Regulations and recommendations for Lead
High Blood lead levels (i.e., greater than 700ppb) can cause serious health effects, including seizure, coma, and death. Blood levels as low as 100ppb have been associated with adverse effects on cognitive development, growth, and behavior among children aged 1-5 years.

Efficient, leaf punch tools for quick, precise field sampling. For use with the 3CR Bio Leaf Sample Collection Kit.
BASIC LEAF CUTTING TOOL
The 3CR Bio Basic Leaf Cutting Tool is a lightweight, easy-to-use, low-cost punch designed for precise sampling of thin or soft materials, ideal for fieldwork. This tool is expertly designed to core, punch, and retrieve samples from thin or soft source materials such as leaves. The tool comprises a convenient, hollow plastic pen-style holder, mounted with a durable stainless steel cutting tip at one end. It features an internal push-button-operated plunger for safe and efficient sample disc ejection. The tool produces a precise ¼ inch diameter disc, making it ideal for detailed sampling tasks. For best results, clean the cutting tip between each sample extraction by coring blank filter paper or rinsing with water or ethanol. This low-cost leaf punch is lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for fieldwork.
ADVANCED LEAF CUTTING TOOL
The 3CR Bio Advanced Leaf Cutting Tool is designed to streamline and enhance your sampling process. This high-precision leaf tissue punch produces a single ¼ inch diameter disc effortlessly. It features a unique mechanism that securely holds a standard snap-top or screw-top 2 mL storage tube in a fixed position, allowing the sample to be received without any need for touching or manipulation. Ideal for fieldwork, this advanced leaf punch significantly reduces effort and time when performing multiple samplings, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every use.
