What is LeadMap™?
The Mobile Analytical Platform for lead detection in drinking water (LeadMAPTM) is a revolutionary product under development by NanoSafe Inc., aimed at providing inexpensive, real-time lead detection and semi-quantitative measurement capability to homeowners, professionals, and regulators.
| Lead Detection Concentration | <5ppb to 1000+ppb |
|---|---|
| Detects Soluble/Insoluble Lead? | Yes/Yes |
| Time to Test | ~5 minutes |
| Materials Cost per Test | <$1 |
LeadMap™️ Operation
LeadMap™️ Operation
The LeadMAPTM provides its unique lead detection capabilities through a patent-pending process which isolates and concentrates waterborne lead from virtually any source- whether it be eroding pipes, solder, or accumulated lead scale to dissolved minerals and other leaded compounds. The user-friendly process can be completed in less than five minutes, providing a color response that indicates and approximates total lead concentration and is interpretable by the naked eye. An accompanying mobile application further simplifies the measurement process and provides enhanced features that can help users, municipalities, and regulators ensure rapid remediation of elevated lead levels.
Accurate
Accurate
Provides naked-eye detection and semi-quantitative measurement of both soluble and insoluble lead compounds at concentrations below 5ppb to above 1,000ppb. User experience and measurement accuracy may be enhanced through use of an accompanying mobile application.
Affordable
Affordable
The material cost for kit production has been quoted at less than $1 per test. Primary kit components may be reused indefinitely, enabling routine seasonal testing.
Deployable
Deployable
Renders real-time indication of the total lead concentration in a use-relevant volume of water. The highly portable unit avoids interference from dozens of common minerals and chemicals found in tap water across the country from both municipal and private sources.
