LeadCare II Blood Lead Testing System

The LeadCare II system brings blood lead screening out of the reference lab and into the point of care, delivering quantitative results in about five minutes from a small fingerstick sample. For pediatricians, community health clinics, and public health programs charged with identifying childhood lead exposure early, that speed changes how a visit unfolds — a family can receive a result and next steps before they leave the room, rather than waiting days for a send-out.

This collection features the LeadCare II Test Kit (70-6762), a CLIA-waived, machine-read general chemistry blood lead test packaged 48 tests per kit. Because it carries CLIA-waived status, it can be run by trained staff in settings without a high-complexity lab, which is precisely why it has become a standard tool in pediatric offices and WIC and Head Start screening efforts. Each kit supplies the reagents and test components needed to process samples on the LeadCare II analyzer, and the two-drop capillary sample makes it practical for young children who don't tolerate venous draws well.

Buyers evaluating the system typically ask three things: how quickly do results come back, does it require a certified lab, and what's the per-test cost. The five-minute quantitative readout, the waived complexity classification, and the 48-test kit format answer all three — supporting both routine well-child screening and follow-up confirmation testing within a single, repeatable workflow. Storing reagents correctly and running included controls keeps results reliable across the kit's shelf life.
