1. What is Pestest and what is it used for?
Pestest is a home pesticide testing kit that detects pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables. It indicates chemical residues in foods by color change within 15 minutes.
2. What chemicals does the test detect?
Pestest specifically detects organophosphate and carbamate pesticides, which are among the most widely used agricultural pesticides worldwide.
3. How can the test result be understood?
A color change is observed during the test. The colored indicator allows you to quickly determine if residue is present. You can see the results by using the color correspondences found in the user manual.
4. How reliable are the results?
Designed for home use, Pestest detects the presence of pesticides with high sensitivity. However, the results are for preliminary screening and are not a substitute for official laboratory analysis.
5. How many tests can be performed with one test kit?
A box contains 5 separate test cards. Each is single-use and can be used separately on different foods.
6. In which foods can I use it?
Pestest is designed for use on fresh fruits and vegetables. It can be tested on all unwashed produce, with or without its shell.
7. Is any special preparation required before use?
No. Simply sample the food and process the cards according to the recipe. The process takes 15 minutes in total.
8. Does the product have an expiration date?
Yes. Because the cards in the kit contain chemicals, they have a shelf life of approximately 12–18 months from the date of manufacture. Storage conditions are specified on the packaging.
9. What should I do if the test result is positive?
This indicates that the food may contain pesticide residue. It's recommended that you wash the produce thoroughly, peel it if necessary, and avoid consuming it if you find it risky. You can find detailed cleaning methods on my
blog.
10. What are the conditions for returning and exchanging the kit?
Returns and exchanges are possible for unused and unopened products within 14 days. Detailed information can be found on our "
Returns and Delivery Conditions" page.
