	Contains paper and glass fiber filters, sterile sample bags, latex gloves, cotton swabs, pH paper, dropper bottle, template (10 cm x 10 cm), marking pen, media for 20 wipe samples for lead (NIOSH 9100), micro slides, cover slips and tapes, and stainless steel forceps.

Evaluating Surface Contamination

The SKC Wipe Sample Test Kit provides the Industrial Hygienist with the necessary supplies to sample surfaces for toxic materials that can gain entry into the body via ingestion or skin absorption. In addition, accumulated contaminants may become re-suspended in air and contribute to airborne exposures. Wipe samples provide data to evaluate surface contamination, hazard control effectiveness, and workplace sanitation practices.

Four Easy Steps

1. Review area to be sampled and prepare a sketch using appropriate data sheets
   
   
2. Place template on surface and wipe area inside template with filter, cotton swab, or pH paper per instructions included in the kit
   
   
3. Place filter or cotton swab into sample bag for transport to the laboratory; pH paper is read on the spot.
   
   
4. Submit samples and data sheets to your laboratory.
