I am part owner of a company that uses non-destructive XRF equipment to screen toys and other household articles for lead. The hand-held analyzer can determine within 10 seconds whether there is lead in just about anything. Toys, ceramic, etc. It also can analyze jewelry, and can tell whether your diamond is real or cubic zirconia.

We're based in Madison, WI and the company name is Elemental Safety. 608-279-1300
