It does not detect organically bound arsenic. With regard to the other matter, we suggest you take that matter up with the makers of the Arsenic Quick test kits. We suspect, however, that they will refer you to the <a href=http://www.sensafe.com/01_vr_quick.pdf rel="nofollow"><strong>EPA/ETV Verification Report</strong></a> and the <a href=http://www.sensafe.com/01_vs_quick.pdf rel="nofollow"><strong>EPA/ETV Verification Statement</strong></a>. Sorry we don't have any more concrete answers to your questions. According to the literature, the Arsenic Quick line of test kits detects free dissolved +3 and +5 arsenic.

I have an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, (cost me 30K) and I am NELAC accredited for Arsenic in drinking water. I have an MDL (method detection limit) of o.002 mg/L., or 2 parts per billion. How can you get a 0.0 MDL with a test kit? Also, are you testing total arsenic? (+3 & + 5?). Can you please tell me how you can have a detection level of 0.0 ppb?
