But it’s good enough for regular people. Very accurate test equipment costs tens of thousands of dollars and you have to recalibrate it every few months using very expensive consumables.

Nah. I paid $43 for my lead test via Virginia tech, as that’s a concern I have with my new (very old) apt building: https://leadkit.hbbf.org

If you need to test for the common 9 dangerous items test, it’s $160: https://mytapscore.com

That’s one single test and you don’t get equipment. You’re just sending your sample to the lab, which has all the stuff. I mean that’s a great option, but you’re not getting accurate testing devices for that price.

Not interested in having the equipment. Not sure where I said that either.
