Esca Tech Lead Wipe Test Sampling Container / Digestion Cup 50mL
A Lead Wipe Test Sampling Container is a small, hard‑walled, polypropylene container used in environmental and occupational health testing to collect and prepare dust wipe samples for lead analysis
Purpose and Use
These containers are designed for surface dust sampling in environments where lead exposure is a concern — such as old paint, renovation sites, or industrial areas. They are used in conjunction with lead‑wipe sampling materials such as GhostWipes that meet ASTM E1792 specifications. The wipe is pressed onto the surface, then placed into the 50 mL cup for acid digestion to release lead into solution for laboratory analysis.
Key Features
Material: Typically made from polypropylene to resist chemical attack during digestion and prevent contamination
Capacity: 50 mL volume, suitable for standard digestion protocols like ASTM E1644.
Closure: Screw‑cap design to prevent leakage and contamination during transport
Durability: Hard‑walled construction to withstand handling and digestion processes.
Compliance: Meets ASTM E1792 for lead wipe sampling and E1644 for hot plate digestion of dust wipe samples.
How It Works in Testing
Sample Collection: A lead‑wipe is pressed onto the surface to collect dust.
Transfer: The wipe is placed into the 50 mL digestion cup.
Digestion: The cup is placed in a hot plate or digestion system with acid (e.g., nitric acid) to dissolve the dust and release lead into solution.
Analysis: The resulting digestate is analyzed by techniques such as ICP‑AES, FAAS, or anodic stripping voltammetry.
Applications
Environmental monitoring of lead in dust.
Occupational safety assessments in renovation or demolition.
Compliance with EPA, OSHA, and AIHA guidelines for lead hazard control
