A guided tour of detectlead.com
this is a walkthrough, not a menu. read it top to bottom, or jump to a section. anything tagged in progress or prototype is not finished yet. that is deliberate, so you can see where it is heading, not just where it is.
Start here
if you only look at three things, look at these.
The kit and how it works
the product itself, what is in the box, and the safety paperwork behind it.
The science behind it
where the chemistry came from and how it compares to the alternatives.
How it was developedthe actual development story. how the chemistry got here.The fluorescence readthe science of the read, in plain terms.Single-particle dust studythe method writeup for detecting lead paint dust.The patent sidein progressthe trace-detection patent work.Why one test is not enoughwhy a single food test creates false certainty.FluoroSpec vs Lumetallixan honest side-by-side with the other glow test.
Tools you can actually use
these are interactive. they take your input and give you a real answer, not a brochure.

The data underneath
none of the tools above are guesses. this is the source data they are built on, with provenance.
