Heroin Surface Testing: Certified Lab Analysis for Trace Contamination

Heroin residue on indoor surfaces is a growing concern, especially in spaces where drug activity is suspected or contamination is possible. If you're looking to test for heroin accurately, SimpleLab’s Heroin Surface Wipe Test provides specialized, mail-in laboratory testing for one surface sample.

How Do You Test for Heroin on a Surface?

The most reliable way to test for heroin residue is using a selective and sensitive surface wipe sample that undergoes laboratory-based analysis.

Surfaces and objects can be contaminated with unknown substances, including controlled substances. SimpleLab’s Heroin Surface Wipe Test kit uses a single surface wipe sample to collect and test for heroin using the certified, NIOSH 9111 Modified lab method.

This method has the highest reported sensitivity and specificity for heroin (detection limit: 0.1 μg/cm²), making it reliable for reporting even trace amounts which may be present.

Key Features:

Sampling materials
Clear instructions
Prepaid two-day return shipping
Certified lab analysis using a modified NIOSH 9111 method.

Once you collect the sample and return it, results are delivered digitally within 10 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not use drug test strips or color-change swabs?

DIY surface tests are often unreliable, lack sensitivity, and do not provide legally defensible documentation. Only certified laboratory testing offers the accuracy, documentation, and confidence needed for actionable decisions.

Can I use this test to check if a cleanup was successful?

Absolutely. Environmental professionals and remediation teams use this kit to confirm whether heroin residues remain after cleaning. A post-cleanup test can help demonstrate that a space meets acceptable standards before reoccupation.

How many areas can I test with one kit?

One kit is designed to test a single surface area. For multiple locations, additional kits are required.

What’s included in the kit?

Each kit includes: sampling materials, prepaid return shipping, lab analysis, certified report, and chain of custody documentation.
