Test for Meth - Products

This type of testing is where a sampler takes individual samples in adherence with NIOSH 9111. The individual samples are sent to the laboratory. The individual samples are then run individually to give you a breakdown of contamination in each area. Pros: Individual analysis of each sample means you know which areas are affected. Cons: As each sample is analysed there is a laboratory cost for each sample, so it is the most expensive type of test.

Instant – calibrated and validated at 0.5 micrograms, Swabs are taken using a 100cm2 template and mixed with a buffer solution that is dropped into a results cassette Pros: This test will provide a Yes/No result within minutes Cons: Because all samples are yes/no result there is no way of knowing contamination levels, so there is a need to gather individual samples if the contamination levels are to be known.
