SimpleLab Microplastics Water Test Kits

The SimpleLab Microplastics Water Test Kit is a cutting-edge solution designed to detect the presence of microplastic particles in drinking water. Microplastics, tiny plastic fragments less than 5mm in size, can enter water sources through pollution, industrial processes, and everyday plastic use, posing potential health risks.

Microplastics Water Test Kit

This test kit is right for you if you’re interested in knowing the concentration of microplastics in your drinking water, without needing to know the plastic-types. Utilizing a combination of optical microscopy, Nile red staining, and polarized light microscopy, your laboratory results will include detection of microplastic concentrations down to 1 micron.

  • Certified lab testing
  • Fast turnaround at lab (12 days)
  • Expert support

Note: Methods for microplastics analysis are still developing and currently have many limitations. This test combines optical microscopy with Nile red staining and polarized light microscopy to get a higher accuracy count of microplastics than using any one method alone. Please note that relatively clean water samples, like drinking water, generally have very low concentrations of microplastics that are difficult to measure due to current methodological limitations. In addition, the smallest sizes of microplastics are typically the most difficult to detect but they are the most abundant.

For these reasons, this test should be viewed more as a screening test that is most effective at identifying larger particle sizes, rather than a definitive measure of all microplastics concentrations.

This Mail-to-Lab Kit Includes: All materials needed for sample collection, easy-to-follow instructions, chain of custody documentation, and a prepaid return label for seamless shipping to an accredited lab.

Lab Report: Reported results will include detailed analysis of microplastic particles between 1 micron (um) and 5 mm in size. Reporting will show the total concentration of microplastics at different size categories.

Important: This test kit is designed for drinking water (tap or bottled water) only and cannot be used to analyze marine or surface water.

Advanced Microplastics Water Test Kit

This kit is right for you if you’re interested in knowing the types of plastics in your drinking water and their concentration. Utilizing cutting-edge optical and polarized light microscopy alongside Raman spectroscopy for unparalleled accuracy, your laboratory results will include detection of microplastic concentrations down to 1 micron as well as polymer identification.

  • Certified lab testing
  • Fast turnaround at lab (12 days)
  • Expert support

Note: Methods for microplastics analysis are still developing and currently have many limitations. This test combines optical microscopy with polarized light microscopy to get a higher accuracy count of microplastics at small particle sizes (1-10μm), as well as Raman spectroscopy which is accurate at identifying polymer types down to 10μm.

This Mail-to-Lab Kit Includes: All materials needed for sample collection, easy-to-follow instructions, chain of custody documentation, and a prepaid return label for seamless shipping to an accredited lab.

Lab Report: Reported results will include detailed analysis of microplastic particles between 1 micron (um) and 5 mm in size as well as polymer identification–for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene particles. Particles between 1 micron (μm) and 5 mm in size are quantified, and polymer types are identified for particles >10 μm.

Important: This test kit is designed for drinking water (tap or bottled water) only and cannot be used to analyze marine or surface water.

What’s Inside Your Microplastic Water Testing Kit?

  • Sampling Instructions - Every test comes with step by step instructions on how to prepare your water source, collect your water sample, and prepare your sample for return shipment to our labs.
  • Collection Bottles - Your kit includes all the bottles, tubes or vials necessary to collect your water sample. For most kits, however, there is only one collection bottle needed.
  • Sample Information Card - Your kit includes a postcard that asks for a few details about how and where you collected your sample (i.e. kitchen faucet). Just fill it out, drop it in the return box, and we'll do the rest.
  • Prepaid Shopping Label - Shipping is always on us. This package includes a prepaid return shipping label to the lab. Just stick the provided label on the outside of the box and drop it in the mail.
  • Return Container (If Applicable) - Some of our tests require your water sample to be cold when it reaches our labs. If this applies to your test, the proper refrigeration items will be included.

Example Water Reports

Trusted results in two formats.

  • Online Example - The online version of your report allows you to explore every detail of your drinking water within your browser. Note that reports will vary from test to test and that yours may look different than this example.
  • PDF Example - If links and URLS aren't your thing, you can download a PDF of your full report to view on your computer or print out at home.
