LEAD Group Kits can now be used to test eggs for lead.
If you want to test more eggs than are offered in the Kits, then simply buy as many Egg Preparation for Analysis add-ons here.
Description
Egg Preparation for Analysis
“Egg Preparation for Analysis” is an add-on for any of our test kits.
The lab needs to prepare the egg for analysis, and the cost for this is$30 per egg.
Steps:
- Choose which Lead Testing Kit you’d like – 1-Sample, 2-Sample or 8-Sample
- Select how many Egg Preparations add-ons that you’d like to include from the dropdown menu
- If you want to test more eggs than are offered with the Kits, then put this add-on in your cart, adjusting the quantity to meet your needs
Note, that each Egg Preparation counts as 1 sample from your kit (so if you have an 8-sample kits, and want to test 4 eggs, you’ll only have 4 tests left).
If you aren’t sure what to do, please reach out.
Test for lead if you have any reason to suspect that it is present in the egg. It’s important to understand that even low levels of lead are harmful.
Our lead test kits are the only ones available in Australia for testing a wide variety of samples 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 analyses the samples, then we’ll explain the results.
Sorry, it’s quite confusing: what do I need to buy to test my egg/s? Eg if I buy one “Single Lead Testing Kit (1 Sample)” how many, if any, “$30 egg preparation for testing” things do I need to buy? Thanks.
Hi Sam,
Yes, to test one egg for lead you need to purchase a 1-Sample Emailed Kit and 1 x Egg Preparation for Analysis. We recommend testing the egg of the youngest hen.
