MethAlert Kit 560-001 for  detecting methamphetamine residue on surfaces

Identify meth hot spots on surfaces quickly and easily with SKC MethAlert. Simply wet, wipe, spray, and observe color to determine if meth residue above 15 micrograms is present on surfaces. Use MethAlert in combination with MethChek for pre and post-cleanup assessment of sites as well as quick check during remediation.

MethAlert is ideal for use in multi-unit buildings such as hotels and apartments where meth contamination can spread to other rooms through ventilation. MethAlert also allows quick testing for gross contamination inside rooms near the meth cooking area.
