Description

Colorimetric Test Strip Sampling & Analysis Services


Accurate Safety Compliance provides Colorimetric Test Strip Sampling & Analysis to support rapid detection and documentation of chemical hazards in workplace and environmental settings.


This service uses industry-recognized indicator strips that change color when exposed to specific substances, providing immediate, reliable screening results.


This approach is commonly used for Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) monitoring in oil & gas operations, but it is equally effective for a wide range of water quality, process, and environmental indicators.


What Are Colorimetric Test Strips?


Colorimetric test strips are disposable indicator papers or pads that react with specific chemicals or compounds, producing a visible color change.


Results are compared to a reference scale to determine presence or approximate concentration.


These strips are widely used for:


  • Preliminary hazard screening
  • Routine monitoring
  • Verification of safe conditions
  • Compliance documentation


They offer a fast, cost-effective alternative to complex laboratory analysis when screening-level results are appropriate.


Available Test Strip Applications


Our service is designed to support multiple test strip types, including but not limited to:


Gas & Vapor Indicators


  • Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) – Lead acetate test paper
  • Other reduced sulfur compounds (application-dependent)


Water & Liquid Testing


  • pH
  • Chlorine (free & total)
  • Nitrates / Nitrites
  • Ammonia
  • Sulfides
  • Other common water quality indicators


Environmental & Process Screening


  • Wastewater indicators
  • Cooling tower and process water checks
  • Industrial hygiene spot screening


Specific test strip availability may vary based on application and regulatory requirements. If a test strip exists for your target analyte, we can likely support it.



Results & Documentation


Every completed test includes:


  • Identified analyte
  • Sampling date and method
  • Observed colorimetric result
  • Interpretation notes (where applicable)
  • Technician or reviewer identification


Records are suitable for:


  • Internal safety files
  • Job documentation
  • Compliance support
  • Audits and inspections


Why Use Colorimetric Test Strip Sampling?


  • Rapid results
  • Minimal equipment
  • Low per-sample cost
  • Proven industry method
  • Ideal for screening and routine monitoring


When more advanced analysis is required, we can also recommend or coordinate instrument-based monitoring or accredited laboratory testing.


Service Pricing


Pricing is based on:


  • Test strip type
  • Number of samples
  • Field vs. mail-in service
  • Documentation requirements


Basic colorimetric strip analysis is typically priced per sample, with additional fees for:


  • On-site technician deployment
  • Travel and mobilization
  • Custom reporting or recurring programs

Quick On-Site or Mail-In Chemical Screening Services for Gases, Water, and Process Samples


Rapid, screening-level testing for gases, liquids, and environmental indicators using industry-recognized colorimetric test strips. This service provides fast results and documented records through either on-site technician sampling or client-submitted samples, supporting routine monitoring, hazard identification, and compliance documentation across a wide range of applications.

Instructions

Sampling & Submission Options


We offer flexible service models based on your operational needs:


Option 1: Field Sampling by Our Technicians


Our trained technicians travel to your site to:


  • Collect samples
  • Perform test strip exposure and readings
  • Document results on-site


This option is ideal for:


  • Active worksites
  • Confined space entry support
  • Pre-job and post-job screening
  • Clients without trained personnel


A separate field service fee applies.


Option 2: Client-Submitted Samples


Organizations may collect and send samples to us for analysis. Upon receipt:


  • Samples are evaluated using the appropriate test strips
  • Results are documented and reviewed
  • A formal record of results is issued


This option is ideal for:


  • Routine monitoring
  • Remote locations
  • Cost-sensitive programs
