Specialized Testing
Should I test for PFAS?
Our Core Kits focus first on the most well-established and high-priority contaminants—those backed by decades of research. That’s why we recommend starting with a Core Kit before testing specifically for PFAS. For a more complete picture of your water quality, you can also combine a Core Kit with a PFAS test.
