Pre-order our Microplastics Environmental Water Kit. Kits will be shipped on November 30. 

Interested in how many microplastics are in your body of water? MP-Express test kit is for you! 

  • A method for testing microplastics in a variety of environmental water sources (e.g., oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, and wells)
  • Detection of microplastics in the size range of 50 - 500  μm 
  • Quantification and polymer identification
  • Standard shipping included 

We are the first non-profit lab accredited to analyze drinking water by the state of California. As leaders in the field of this study, we have strived to be able to provide this service to the general public. 

Included in the Kit

  • Stainless steel decontaminated sampling bottle with a silicone gasket
  • Instructions for sample collection
  • Prepaid shipping label

Data Sharing

Kits are available at a lower price when you choose to share your results. By opting in, you make your sample results and ZIP code publicly available, helping us build a map of microplastic concentrations in water across the United States.

Participation requires a signed data-sharing agreement. Your name, street address, and payment information will remain private and will not be included in the shared data.

Important:  This test kit is intended for environmental water only. Please do not send us hazardous material or biohazards samples. These samples will not be processed, and no refund will be issued.  We can conduct analysis on other matrices. Contact us at mippr@mooreplasticresearch.org to get more information.
    Materials + Care

    Our bottles are sourced from Klean Kanteen. They are high quality, food-grade stainless steel bottles with no plastic lining. A silicone gasket is included to prevent leakage. Each bottle is thoroughly cleaned in our laboratory before shipment to reduce possible contamination.
    Shipping + Returns

    Shipping is included with the purchase of the kit. As well as a pre-paid label that can be attached to the box for when returning the sample.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is included in the kit?

    A stainless steel bottle, instructions to collect a sample, and a return label.
    Does the test detect nanoplastics?

    No, the smallest particle we can detect is 1 µm. Our Experimental Microplastic Testing Kit can analyze particles ranging from 1 µm - 20 µm.
    How are microplastics identified?

    Spectroscopy uses light to determine the materials of the particles identified in the samples.
    Is the Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution an accredited lab?

    Yes! The Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research (MIPPR) is the first non-profit in the state of California to be accredited to test microplastics in drinking water. Learn more about MIPPR by visiting our website! 
    What's the turnaround time?

    We will work quickly to analyze your samples at a timely manner. Our current turnaround time is 45 days.
    If I opt in to share my results, what information will be public?

    Only your test results and ZIP code will be shared publicly. Your name, street address, and other personal information will not be included. Sharing is optional.
