AAwipes LS320 Lead Test Kit 320 Water-Activated Swabs — 30-Second Color-Change Lead Detection for Paint, Jewelry, Wood

This bulk-value kit gives homeowners, renovators and small businesses a fast, low-cost way to screen many surfaces for lead. Each individually sealed swab is activated with plain water (no vinegar required) and produces an immediate visual color change you compare to the included reference. The formula is designed for field or home checks where quick triage is needed before more comprehensive lab testing.

How do I perform a reliable test with these swabs?

Preparing and using the AAwipes swabs is straightforward: wet the swab tip under running water for 5–8 seconds, shake off excess liquid until the tip is mustard yellow, then rub firmly on the test area for 30 seconds. After rubbing, match the swab tip color to the printed reference — red/purple/pink indicates lead; yellow indicates no lead detected. Avoid contaminating the swab tip with your hands and keep away from children and pets.

• Wet swab 5–8 seconds, shake off excess water.
• Rub painted surface or material for 30 seconds.
• Compare swab color to the kit's reference chart immediately.
• Store unused swabs in a cool, dry place; shelf life about 2 years.

What surfaces and items can this kit test?

The LS320 swabs are formulated to screen a broad range of non-porous and semi-porous materials often suspected of containing lead. Typical uses include old painted trim, children's furniture, pottery glazes, costume jewelry finishes, antique hardware, wood with painted coatings and plumbing fittings. The test is intended for preliminary detection; positive results should be confirmed by a professional laboratory if needed.

• Painted walls, trim and furniture coatings.
• Ceramics, glazed pottery and bathtub finishes.
• Costume jewelry, metal fixtures and plumbing surfaces.
• Antiques and painted wooden objects during renovations.

How fast and easy is result interpretation?

Results appear within 30 seconds after rubbing and are read visually against the color chart provided in the kit. The swab tip shifts from mustard yellow to shades of red, purple or pink if lead is present; staying yellow indicates no detected lead. This clear color change makes it practical for quick site decisions without specialized tools.

• Typical reaction time: under 30 seconds.
• Color chart included for straightforward comparison.
• Designed for visual, on-the-spot interpretation without instruments.
• Positive tests are a signal to pursue confirmatory lab analysis when required.
