Do you need to know if a surface has been contaminated with cocaine? SimpleLab’s Cocaine Surface Wipe Test offers lab-based results from a single surface wipe — no unreliable DIY strips, just accurate data you can trust.

How to Test for Cocaine on a Surface

Surfaces and objects can be contaminated with unknown substances, including controlled substances. This kit uses a single surface wipe sample to collect and test for cocaine using the certified, NIOSH 9111 Modified lab method. This method has the highest reported sensitivity and specificity for cocaine (detection limit: 0.1 μg/cm²), making it reliable for reporting even trace amounts which may be present. 

Key Features:

  • One wipe sampling kit
  • Prepaid 2-day return shipping
  • Easy instructions
  • Chain of custody form
  • Digital lab report

Testing with SimpleLab is straightforward: collect your sample with the included wipe, seal it, and use the prepaid shipping label to send it to the lab. Results are delivered digitally within 10 business days of lab receipt.

Who Is This Test For?

This test is ideal for anyone who needs to determine the presence of cocaine on a single surface, whether you're in property management, law enforcement, public health, or simply concerned about your environment.
