ANDalyze offers a new EPA tested technology for detecting and measuring lead levels in paint. The combined sensor/fluorimeter platform solution requires no special knowledge of chemistry, and produces no hazardous chemical waste and shows test results in less than ten minutes, greatly reducing operational testing time and cost. CHAMPAIGN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANDalyze has developed an innovative lead (Pb) sensor technology for on-site detection of lead levels in dried paint surfaces. The technology can measure lead levels to parts per billion, greatly increasing the accuracy of lead in paint measurement and reducing the complexity of previous chemical testing methods. Lead in household paint and dust is a serious health hazard as low-level lead exposure can result in a number of adverse health effects, especially in children. The technology replaces more complex and time consuming chemical testing methods and also gives more accurate readings than hand held XRF analyzers, particularly when there are multiple layers of paint on the walls. The company’s product, the AND1000 Fluorimeter and Lead100 Sensor, meets US EPA requirements for accuracy and specificity of lead-in-paint testing. This solution is ideal for testing agencies, home inspectors, lead removal specialists and environmental services firms looking to reduce lead paint testing efforts while maintaining accuracy of inspections. No special skill or knowledge of chemistry is required to operate the device and no hazardous chemicals are used.
