Asbestos Detection can be done in building materials, paint, soil and dust samples.
Description
Asbestos Detection (add-on)
Asbestos Detection is an add-on to your Lead Testing Kits.
What is it?
If you think there could be asbestos in your paint, soil, ceiling dust, vacuum dust surface dust wipe or building material, the lab’s powerful microscope is used to look for asbestos in that sample.
We send you the instructions for safely collecting samples and we provide the lab’s finding by email.
Steps:
- Simply select which Lead Testing Kit you’d like – 1-Sample, 2-Sample or 8-Sample. Purchase a Posted Kit if you want to test a surface dust wipe for lead, whereas all the other sample types above can be tested for lead with an Emailed Kit
- Purchase as many Asbestos Detection add-ons that you think you’ll need. You can always return to the shop during the actual sampling and purchase this Add-on later, as needed.
- Note which sample/s you’d like to use this add-on for on your chain of custody (document you email us once you’ve completed collecting your samples)
==============================
LEAD Group Kits are the only ones available in Australia for testing a wide variety of sample types for lead and other metals as well as for detecting asbestos at a lab (which charges us a charity rate so you pay less).
You take the samples and send them to Sydney Analytical Labs.
The lab will find either “Asbestos Detected” or “Asbestos Not Detected” and we email you their report when we email the Interpretation and Comments on your Lead Result for the Sample/s.

Hello,
I’m a local contractor in Alice Springs, I’m after some information to be clarified in needing to get a lead test done and an asbestos test done at a potential building site.
I have my Asbestos removal certification, and also Supervise Asbestos removal, so pretty happy with the safety concerns about collecting a sample, I just need to confirm if Lead or Asbestos is present.
Which product should I order from you guys to achieve this.
To test paint or painted fibro samples for both lead and asbestos, you need to order an Emailed Kit for as many samples as you want to test, so either a 1-Sample, a 2-Sample or an 8-Sample Posted Kit; then you have to order an Asbestos Detection Add-on for each of the samples that you want put under the microscope to see if asbestos is detected, after they’ve been analysed for lead. In other words, all samples in any LEAD Group Kit will be analysed for lead as part of the Kit price, but if you only want one sample sent on to the asbestos detection lab, you should just order 1 Asbestos Detection Add-on. If you want both samples in a 2-Sample Emailed Kit sent out for asbestos detection, order 2 Asbestos Detection Add-ons.
