Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this test?

This test is analyzed in a certified laboratory with strict chain-of-custody procedures and quality control practices to ensure high accuracy.

Can I use this test for OSHA compliance?

Yes, this kit is designed for short-term exposure limit (STEL) monitoring and low permissible exposure limit (PEL) monitoring, in alignment with OSHA formaldehyde standards.

How long does it take?

Sampling onsite is typically completed within 24 hours, shipping takes 2 days, and testing at the laboratory is completed within 10 business days, totalling around 2 weeks (including weekends). You'll get your results via a secure digital report at the end of this period.

Why not use DIY test strips?

DIY test strips lack precision, aren't suitable for low-level exposure detection, and won’t meet OSHA requirements. Only certified lab analysis can provide the accuracy needed for formaldehyde monitoring.
