Uranium-235 and 238 Isotope Water Test
Recommended by SimpleLab™ for targeted testing for the two most common uranium isotopes in drinking water: uranium-235 and uranium-238. The vast majority (99%+) of all uranium in the environment is found as uranium-238.
Uranium is ubiquitous in the environment and can be found in rocks, soil, water, air, plants, and animals. Additionally, uranium-235 can be concentrated in a process called “enrichment" that is can be used for nuclear reactors or weapons. Subsequently, additional sources of uranium contamination in the environment include close proximity to: abandoned uranium mines, nuclear industry activity, or combustion or coal or other fuels.
As a weakly radioactive heavy metal, uranium emits alpha particles as it decays. Alpha particles cannot penetrate skin from the outside. However, when consumed, they are active inside your body and can cause damage.
This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of uranium-235 and uranium-238 in pCi/L by EPA method 901.1 (or equivalent).

"It was easy and gave us a lot of good details. We learned that we do not have arsenic in our well water. We also learned our water is super hard and the report actually said "do not water your plants with this water, it will kill them" I just thought I sucked at growing plants, it's nice to know its not me, it's the hard water."

"This test is worth it. It is the same price or cheaper than any lab I've seen, but you just mail it in. The results were were extremely detailed and the online interface is very user-friendly and easy to understand."

Simple interface and useful information make this a good value. I live in a 1956 airspace condo with good pipes but bad maintenance, so for everyone’s peace of mind I went ahead and got this done (and also previously ran basic asbestos tests on the plasterboard and ceiling popcorn. We’re all good here!

The testing done is superior to what we had done by a local company. This makes it an excellent value for those of us that are on our own wells. If you want a water test that is outstanding check these folks out.
