We're an environmental testing company with many years of experience testing for hazardous materials, including black mold testing and remediation during the mold crisis several years ago. We have been renting and operating XRF testers to the environmental industry for many years, and recognized quickly as news spread regarding the dangers of lead that we could help parents who are concerned about lead in their children's toys with this technology.

Young children are at the greatest risk for lead poisoning because they play and crawl inside and outside buildings built before 1978 and in soil and dust that may contain lead. To make matters worse, children between 12 and 24 months of age often have their hands or toys in their mouths.

XRF Rentals uses the cutting edge Innov-X Systems handheld XRF to test household items and toys for lead. Send your toys to us for non-destructive testing and we'll provide you with a full report at a much lower cost than testing them yourself.

What about home lead testing kits?

Lead testing kits range from $8-$19 and because of recent media attention are often sold out. It is recommended that you test every toy with a painted surface - but that means with home testing that you may end up spending hundreds of dollars of home tests that may not even give you accurate results.

Are home lead testing kits reliable?

The government is warning consumers not to use home testing kits to check children's toys and other products for lead. A report on October 22, 2007 announced that most of the tests don't work.

Consumer Reports found that three of the five lead test kits, Homax Lead Check, Lead Check Household Lead Test Kit and Lead Inspector, detected surface or accessible lead but don't detect lead embedded below the surface.

Can I rent an XRF analyzer and test my toys myself?

Sure! If you and your neighbors all want to get together and share the cost of a one day rental, you can test every toy in your neighborhood. If the normal day rental rate is cost prohibitive for you, we do offer in-house testing at a lower rate and can provide you with a full report.

What is an XRF?

The XRF is a state of the art portable device that can instantly detect the presence of lead, among other elements.
