Everything we've built.
All of it free with the kit.

3,600 drops + UV light. Designed for dishes, mugs, vintage glassware, painted jewelry. Drip a single drop, shine the light, look for green glow.

Drip bottle + spray bottle + UV light. The drip handles dishes and small items; the spray handles walls, floors, dust, and soil. Both jobs, one box.

Two full kits. For two households, couples splitting a kit, or one for the in-laws. ~1,200 tests. Ships in 48 hrs.

98 pages. Paint, dust, pipes, dishes, soil, food: what to test, what the numbers mean, how to fix it. Written for homeowners, not chemists. No fluff. Free with kit purchase ($47 retail value).

The field guide for safely managing lead during home renovation and abatement. Covers containment, clearance testing, contractor oversight, and post-reno verification. For DIYers and project managers.

FluoroSpec is the tool. The curriculum is what you do with it. 19 daily lessons covering dishes, food, water, vitamins, sunscreen, school, work, kids, and grandparents. Structured so you can complete a full home audit in under three weeks, 15 minutes at a time.

Six tools in one hub: 18,124 lots tested across 4 metals, the worst 10 ingredients by exposure risk, brand-by-brand lookup, and a dietary simulator. Built because the FDA's Total Diet Study data was hard to use and scattered across PDFs.

2,165+ dishes personally scanned on a $50,000 Niton XL5 Plus XRF analyzer. Every scan logged with the item, country of origin, decoration type, and raw ppm reading. Searchable by brand, pattern, and type.

Four tools: the Lead Vector Assessment (room-by-room exposure scoring), the L·E·A·D Framework (Load, Exposure, Age, Diet), the born-before-1980 quiz, and the Food CALC dietary dose estimator.

8 sub-hubs organized by domain: science, food, home, dishes, health effects, professional use, society & policy, and competitive landscape. Entry point for deep research on any lead topic.

18 short essays from the lab and the field. Each one is a real finding — a surprising scan result, a regulatory gap, a case where the numbers told a different story. Bullet headlines, real numbers, no filler.

13 real homes documented start to finish. Daniella's kitchen, Jessica's renovation, the Alpine house, a radiator shop, twin decanters with different results, and more. Shows what a real lead audit looks like in practice.

The chemistry behind the kit. Methylammonium bromide (MABr) dissolved in isopropanol contacts lead pigment and instantly forms bright green perovskite quantum dots. The glow is locked to the lead-painted surface — white ceramic does not glow.

Bench study: field-deployable MABr fluorescence spectroscopy applied to lead-based paint dust. Documents sensitivity, selectivity, and detection thresholds under real-world conditions.

The Fluoro-Spec Inc. patent disclosure for the method of detecting heavy metals via perovskite quantum dot formation. Full text, claims, and prior art citations.

Honest head-to-head comparison. Fluoro-Spec provides 3× more solution, 30× more tests, at a lower price. Same underlying chemistry, significantly different economics and format.

Lead Safe Mama's swab tests, XRF analyzers, and the FDA Total Diet Study all measure different things. This explains what each method actually detects, where it's accurate, and where it misleads.

A ppb headline number tells you concentration, not exposure. This piece walks through the math: serving size, bioavailability, cumulative daily intake, and how to convert a ppb reading into an actual µg/day dose estimate.
