Asbestos Test Kit 1 PK (5 Bus. Days) Schneider Labs

It was easy to use, and results were available three days after they received it. Luckily, no asbestos!

This kit worked great for a house project that required asbestos tile testing. Results come back in roughly a week.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! This testing kit was top notch and a fraction of the price of local testing companies... and more reliable, quicker, and only slightly more expensive than the testing kits sold on homedepot's website.When we bought a house, my husband insisted on having the popcorn ceilings tested and scraped. He saw the kit on Home Depot's website and thought he'd go that route. But also he asked I contact a local company to get prices and turn around time. When I did so, the local company wanted to charge $280, and would be there in a couple days and return results within 24hr. My husband did not like this. So he decided to go with the Home Depot test. Well, problem is the Home Depot test isn't actually sold in stores. You have to pay for it to be shipped to you, or wait for it to be shipped to a local store. Then you have to pay for return shipping. And then you wait a week... or two... or three or four... or never get results at all (according to reviews on there). Thinking there had to be a better way, I came to Amazon to look for a kit.Amazon didn't disappoint. They had this asbestos testing kit in 1day results or 5day results. We opted to pay the extra for the 1day.I got the kit in two days via Amazon prime shipping. I signed up the kit on the company's website per the instructions provided in the kit. I got the provided mask and gloves on, I found a pair of safety glasses, a spray bottle, and a sharp blade and scraping tool. I sprayed a section of the ceiling with water, and let it sit for a 30minutes. And then I scraped/cut out a 1"X1" sample of the popcorn ceiling I wanted tested. I put the sample in the provided bag, box, and prepaid priority envelope. I sent the sample on Friday afternoon.By Monday afternoon I saw the results of the asbestos testing on their website...no asbestos. That's great news! But more importantly, I was happy and impressed with their easy to use kit and their quick turnaround. Thank you, Schneider labs!

This is a neat little kit for testing materials in your home for Asbestos.Instructions are simple, but clear and all the necessary items you'll need (excluding tools to take samples) are included within the box.- Sample Bag- Gloves- Shipping label- Instructions (read these carefully)Make sure to take clear notes from your online account set-up so that you can include that within package when you post it. Also, follow their recommendations for taking a sample - they list what size you should try to provide and what sample types they CANNOT test.I received confirmation once the package was received (via email) and then again (4 days later) when the testing results were available.All in all, this kit is a fair deal for DIY testing. It delivers as advertised. Still, if you are doing a larger project with multiple material samples, I would still recommend contracting a professionally certified environmental consultant to take your samples and facilitate the testing.

This is a good kit and it is clear this is a reputable company with an easy-to-use website to view your test results.The full instructions aren't posted here or on their website (thanks to the person who posted an image of partial instructions). They expect you to re-use the padded envelope this kit ships in to for return shipping to the lab. Unknowingly, I tore into that envelope like a hungry lion into a gazelle, and had to find another envelope.I'm assuming you are probably interested in this kit vs the 5 business day kit because you want fast results. In that case, do yourself a favor and DO NOT use the included UPS ground shipping label. Instead just pay for overnight shipping. Even if expedited shipping costs a lot, your total cost will still be less than the $300 to $400 it would cost to have a local lab test your sample.It would be great if they offered a kit without a prepaid shipping label, or if they offered one with prepaid overnight shipping. It would be great if they posted an image or pdf of the instructions here or on their own website.Overall I'm happy with my experience using this kit and would definitely use again in the future.

I wanted to remove my popcorn ceilings, but I needed to know if I could tackle this project safely myself. I was hoping I didn't have to hire a specialized company to do the job, since this would be a very expensive undertaking. I decided tolook for a do-it-yourself test kit, and after looking at various kits, I ultimately decided on this one, mainly because it included a postage-paid return label. I wanted something I could just put out in the mailbox and not have to go to the post office.The kit was simple to use with easy to follow instructions. I received the results on the promised day and was happy to learn my ceilings are asbestos free and I can safely do the removal myself.

Excellent product. We took a sample in our furnace closet and it came back 4% Chrysotile as well as a through breakdown of other components. Usually popcorn ceiling is between 1% and 10%, so the 4% sounded right. At the end of the report it had the name of the person who performed the testing and their signature. Would use this again in the future. It's been 4 years since we used the test and received the results, yet our results are still available online when we log in. Wonderful.

I purchased one kit via Amazon and purchased three additional kits when I registered my initial kit. Schneider Labs sent confirmation when they received my test kit and provided results before the 5-business day due date. They provided detailed information and percentage of asbestos in the (multiple) samples I submitted. I would highly recommend this product and their services!
