| Can Mail-in Water Tests Build Trust in your Staff and Patients?😳 We understand that the quality of your water is just as important as any instrument, product, or disinfectant you may use in your daily business routine. With the looming anxiety in these ever changing Covid times, we are constantly looking for ways to help our Staff and Patients. Questions: If your hard working staff doesn’t feel safe drinking the office water, do you think your patients will? If you can prove to your staff that the water is safe, would they not feel confident to tell your patients and recommend additional new patients to your practice? We are excited to announce a new water testing service through SimpleLab, a third-party, unbiased water testing data company. SimpleLab provides testing, services, and data to keep you in the know of individualized and area-wide contaminants that could be potentially harmful to your patients and staff. Simple Lab designed an all-in-one test for our Dental Healthcare Providers, through MSDS. You will find the lab specifics below. |
| The Testing Process Is Simple. Order through MsdsSafety.com https://www.msdssafety.com/water-testing-products/ When the test is delivered, collect a sample of your water and ship it to SimpleLab experts. Everything is included and the sampling only takes a few minutes. With an in-depth look at your water quality report, we can confidently guide you through remediation and prevention of water quality concerns. |

Legionella Water Test – #M9950 https://www.msdssafety.com/product/legionella-water-test-229-m9950/ Recommended for targeted testing of legionella in drinking water. Legionella is a gram-negative bacterium that often lives in still, warm water, but can survive under a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Legionella is most frequently found in Air-conditioning units, Faucets, Water fountains, pools, spas, showers and other water-related devices–and is cause of Legionnaire’s Disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 8,000 and 18,000 Americans are hospitalized each year with Legionnaire’s. Parameters Analyzed (1) Other Legionella |
Lead and Copper Water Test -#M9943 https://www.msdssafety.com/product/lead-and-copper-water-test-57-m9943/ Recommended for targeted testing of lead and copper drinking water.

PFAS (and related compounds like PFOA and PFOS) are most often associated with industrial waste and from consumer products like GoreTex®, Teflon®, StainMaster® carpets, Scotchgard®, and other flame retardants and non-stick products. While many industries have voluntarily stopped use of PFAS compounds, the stability and persistence of these compounds makes them a lifetime concern–as even extremely low levels have been shown to have deleterious human health effects.

Various US states suggest safe levels for radon in drinking water range from 300 to 10,000 pCi/L and testing for radon is frequently suggested for clients on private well water. Although this is uncommon for a Healthcare Provider to be on well water. The Providers home, along with the staffs home on Well Water, may benefit from this screening. Parameters Analyzed (1): Radiochemistry Radon |
