Lead Paint Inspections with the SciAps XRF Analyzer

Lead Inspection Services with XRF Analyzer Technology

Fast, Accurate Lead Testing for Safety and Compliance

We offer professional lead inspection services using the SciAps X-550 XRF analyzer—a high-performance, handheld device. Whether you’re ensuring compliance with HUD, EPA, OSHA, or industrial standards, we deliver fast, on-site testing with lab-quality accuracy.

Our technology detects lead in paint, soil, dust, and other materials. It’s ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

Why We Use the SciAps X-550 Analyzer

The SciAps X-550 is one of the lightest and most powerful XRF analyzers available. It’s built for field use—even in harsh environments—and includes advanced features for accurate testing.

Key features include:

• A 50kV Rhodium X-ray tube for fast and accurate results

• A high-resolution Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for precise readings

• Three beam settings to detect elements from phosphorus (P) through lead (Pb)

• Auto-calibration with a built-in stainless steel reference to ensure accuracy

• A protective mesh to guard sensitive internal parts

• Dual cameras (macro and micro) to document test locations

• Android operating system with intuitive interface

• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS for easy data sharing and mapping

What We Test and How

Our XRF analyzer is adaptable for different testing environments. We use custom software apps designed to meet regulatory standards.

1. Lead Paint Testing (HUD App)

This app is optimized for HUD-compliant inspections. It’s used to test painted surfaces in homes, schools, and public buildings.

• PCS Mode: Automatically stops testing when lead is confirmed above or below the action level of 1.0 mg/cm² with 95% confidence. This saves time while ensuring accuracy.

• OSHA/IH Mode: Offers more sensitive testing with detection limits as low as 0.01 mg/cm², ideal for workplace safety and industrial hygiene.

2. Soil Testing (Environmental App)

We test for lead and other harmful metals in soil. This is essential for environmental assessments and cleanup projects.

• Identifies EPA priority metals like arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and lead

• Supports safety evaluations on construction sites, playgrounds, and contaminated land

• Meets EPA standards for soil testing and reporting

3. Dust and Surface Testing (OSHA/IH App)

We also test for lead on surfaces, in air filters, and in dust samples. This is vital in workplaces where employees may be exposed to lead.

• Detects extremely low levels of lead—down to 0.01 mg/cm²

• Ensures compliance with OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)

• Helps employers maintain a safe, compliant work environment

4. Metal Composition Testing (Fast Alloy App)

This tool identifies the makeup of various metals. It’s useful for determining whether materials contain lead or other elements in mixed alloys.

• Quick, non-destructive analysis

• Ideal for use in manufacturing, metal recycling, or industrial inspections
