Assay and Test Kit for the Electrochemical Detection of Lead in Municipal Water Supplies

Abstract

This report summarizes the initial results of a drinking water testing project using a homebuilt potentiostat, the CStat Series II. The project has been divided into two phases, the first of which is mostly complete. The primary phase one goal was to develop and characterize a simple assay in the laboratory for two contaminants of interest in municipal water supplies: lead and copper. This goal included hardware optimization, development of an initial field kit and strategy, and logistical planning for future field trials. Current results and future directions are discussed.
