SimpleLab PFAS Water Test Kits

SimpleLab PFAS Water Test Kits

The SimpleLab PFAS Water Test Kits are advanced home testing solutions designed to detect per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in your drinking water. These kits provide a reliable, lab-certified analysis of PFAS contamination, including chemicals like PFOA, PFOS, and others that are linked to potential health risks.

The testing process is easy and user-friendly. The kit includes everything you need to collect a water sample and send it to a professional lab for thorough testing. Once processed, you receive a detailed report outlining the levels of PFAS in your water, along with actionable insights and recommendations to improve water safety.

What are PFA/PFOS/PFOA?

What is it?

The PFCs listed in the full analyte list are manufactured for use in daily products globally. They have been used in the production of Teflon and other plastics. Humans are exposed to PFAS in small quantities through packaging and other plastic products imported from abroad. Most over-exposure results from ingesting contaminated water through irresponsible disposal of wastewater from industries as was the case in Hoosick Falls, NY.

Where does it come from?

PFAS are present in products imported to the US and other PFCs are in production to replace them (e.g. other PFCs). They are found in water, ambient air, and occasionally indoor dust.

How does it affect me?

PFOA, also known as C8 (because it has 8 carbons), is classified as a possible human carcinogen, Group 2B by IARC, a subsidiary/adviser of WHO. PFOA is a very stable compound and persists in the environment indefinitely.

Most Comprehensive Water Test Kit

The single most extensive test package for drinking water quality.

While no testing package will ever be truly exhaustive (as there are nearly infinite chemicals, contaminants, and microbes on the planet)–this test package includes core water test parameters for both regulated and regulated contaminants that can pose health risks, aesthetic issues, and other overall quality and safety concerns.

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

From heavy metals like lead and arsenic to bacteria, PFAS, radon, radionuclides, glyphosate, pesticides, herbicides, haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, disinfection byproducts, and more–this test package includes many of SimpleLab's most popular specialized testing packages.

This Mail-to-Lab Kit Includes: All materials needed for sample collection,  detailed sampling instructions, chain of custody documentation, and prepaid overnight shipping labels.

EPA 8327 PFAS Screen Water Test Kit

This test is right for you if you expect higher concentrations of PFAS or want a broad screen to identify if elevated PFAS levels are a concern.

• Certified testing method: EPA 8327
• Fast turnaround at lab (10 days)

This test reports PFAS detections down to ~10-25 parts per trillion (PPT), depending on the specific compound. Simply put, these higher reporting limits mean this screening method might not catch trace amounts of certain compounds as effectively as our other PFAS test kits.

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, quantitative analysis for 24 common PFAS compounds by EPA SW-846 Method 8327.

Important: Collecting a water sample for PFAS testing requires more care and caution than most water testing samples. Always follow the instructions provided carefully for accurate results.

What’s Inside Your PFAS 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.
