What We Test For
At Radiant Environmental Labs, we specialize in providing comprehensive water testing solutions to help you understand the quality of your drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and wastewater. Our PFAS testing kits are designed to detect and measure per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals,” which have raised concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks.
What You Can Learn From PFAS Testing
- Potential Health Risks: Exposure to PFAS chemicals has been linked to health issues such as liver damage, cancer, immune system suppression, and developmental problems in children. Drinking water testing can help you detect if any PFAS are in your water.
- Water Quality Report: You will have appropriate data to see if your water meets the safety standards set by the EPA and local authorities.
- Peace of Mind: After you understand your water quality, you have the power to take appropriate action if contamination is detected.

WHAT DOES IT COST TO TEST MY WATER?
All test kit prices are shown with all costs included. The cost of water testing depends on which test kit you select.
WHERE SHOULD I TAKE MY SAMPLE?
Take the sample directly from the tap you use most frequently for drinking water and cooking. Ensure the tap has been running for at least 5 minutes (15 minutes is best) before collecting the sample to flush out any stagnant water. Only use collection containers provided by PFAST as these containers are designed to prevent contamination and ensure accurate results. Do not touch the inside of the sample container or its lid and collect samples in a clean area to avoid introducing any contaminants. If you want to test water from other sources, such as a well or a different tap, follow the same procedure.
IS YOUR LABORATORY CERTIFIED?
The PFAST Pro and PFAST Pro Rush test kits are performed by partner laboratories with certifications and accreditations that include ISO, NELAC/ELAP, DOD, AIAH, and DOE. Our PFAST Basic and PFAST Plus kits are tested at our laboratory that uses EPA-approved methods and adheres to industry best practices to ensure reliable results.
