Today, the attention has been on the growing problems of Swine Flu and the H1N1 virus. But some months back, you may recall the massive recalls made on baby products that carried heavy doses of lead content, something that has surprising died down.

But that doesn’t mean that this issue has been covered completely. You just cannot take the issue for granted. And as parents, you have to determine if your child has already been contaminated or has been exposed to so much lead already. So how do you find out?

Well, there is an oral-based lead testing product that can aid you in this area. It is LeadConfirm Saliva Lead Test. This is a good way to determine and pry your child away from potential lead poisoning, a deadly and treacherous ordeal that you may eventually have to deal with.

LeadConfirm Professional is a testing product that checks if the body is affected by lead contamination and by how much. The testing is done using saliva collected through an FDA-approved device. The saliva is then placed in vials and sent to the Confirm BioSciences laboratories in a prepaid envelope included in the testing kit.

To test for lead contamination in the body using saliva samples, Confirm BioSciences utilizes advanced technology in Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Mass Spectrometry X2 (LC/MS/MS). The results are available within five to six business days. The patient can get these results online or through telephone.
