The SKC 550-001 Full Disclosure Wipe Kit for Lead is designed to detect the presence of lead on skin or surfaces. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the kit:

1. Preparation:

- Chill the spray bottle of deionized water (labeled Developing Solution #3) in an ice bath or refrigerator.

- Tap one vial containing Disclosing Powder #1 to dislodge adhered particles from the walls of the vial. Pour the entire contents of the vial into the chilled deionized water spray bottle. Cap the bottle and shake until thoroughly mixed.

2. Taking the Sample:

- On skin: Open the wipe packet and unfold the wipe. Wipe both hands or a selected skin surface for 30 seconds using only one side of the wipe.

- On surfaces: With gloved hands, unfold the wipe. Thoroughly wipe a designated area of the surface using repeated horizontal motions. Wipe the same surface area again using the same side of the wipe, but wiping at a right angle to the first wiping motion.

3. Reading the Results:

- Spread the wipe, sample (soiled) side facing up, on a piece of pre-cut waxed paper.

- Prime the spray bottle nozzle by aiming it into a garbage can and depressing it until a fine spray appears.

- Spray the same area of the wipe with the prepared Developing Solution #3 by depressing the pump nozzle at least 2 times.

- Read the results immediately. The presence of lead below the lower limit of visual identification is indicated by a yellow to deep orange color. The presence of lead above the lower limit of visual identification is indicated by a pink or red color. The color bloom appears within seconds and begins to fade quickly as the wipe dries.

4. Handling, Storing, and Disposing of Full Disclosure Materials:

- Follow the instructions provided for storing, handling, and disposing of Disclosing Powder #1, Extraction Solution #2, and Developing Solution #3.

- Dispose of used Full Disclosure wipes and any unused material according to federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
