Detectors for Specific Poisons
ChemSee’s targeted poison-detection kits let organizations select the detector group that matches a defined screening need instead of purchasing the full three-group KT-06 kit.
Choose from CA-61K for cyanide, azide, sulfide and chromate; HM-34K for lead, mercury, cadmium and thallium; or AJ-05K for arsenic-containing compounds.
Each kit includes the detector and materials required to prepare and screen a representative food or beverage sample, with full-color instructions for visual interpretation.
Targeted Selection
Select only the poison group required by the screening plan.
1–7 Grams
Required sample quantity depends on the food or beverage being screened.
Self-Contained
Sample-preparation tools and full-color instructions are included.
No Reader Required
Qualitative colorimetric responses are interpreted visually.
Choose the Detector That Matches the Target
Each product focuses on one of the three detector groups used in ChemSee’s broader food-poison screening platform.
Cyanide, Azide, Sulfide & Chromate
- Cyanides
- Azides
- Sulfides
- Chromates
Includes sample-preparation materials, full-color instructions and built-in quality-assurance features.
Lead, Mercury, Cadmium & Thallium
- Lead
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Thallium
Includes sample-preparation materials, full-color instructions and built-in quality-assurance features.
Arsenic Compounds
AJ-05K provides targeted qualitative screening for arsenic-containing compounds in a prepared food or beverage sample.
The kit includes the arsenic detector, materials for sample preparation and full-color operating instructions.
Product Selection at a Glance
Use the table below to match the known or suspected hazard to the appropriate detector kit.
| Product | Primary Targets | Built-In QA | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA-61K | Cyanide, azide, sulfide, chromate | Yes | Targeted screening for Group I anion poisons |
| HM-34K | Lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium | Yes | Targeted screening for Group II heavy metals |
| AJ-05K | Arsenic-containing compounds | Not represented as an included feature | Targeted screening for Group III arsenic compounds |
| KT-06 | All three poison groups | Yes | Broad food-security screening when the hazard is unknown |
Not sure which kit applies? Select KT-06 when the suspected poison is unknown or when a single kit must cover all three groups. Choose a targeted kit when the screening plan identifies a particular poison class.
How Targeted Screening Works
The workflow is designed for rapid qualitative screening without sophisticated laboratory instrumentation.
Select and Prepare
- Identify the poison group of concern.
- Collect a representative food or beverage sample.
- Prepare 1–7 g as directed for the sample type.
Run the Detector
- Apply the prepared sample according to the instructions.
- Use the kit-specific workflow for CA-61K, HM-34K or AJ-05K.
- No electronic reader is required.
Interpret and Respond
- Compare the visual response with the supplied reference.
- Document the screen under the organization’s protocol.
- Escalate positive or uncertain results for confirmation.
Part of ChemSee’s Food-Poison Detection Platform
CA-61K, HM-34K and AJ-05K correspond to the three complementary detector groups used in the KT-06 food-poison detection kit.
ChemSee’s broader food-poison detection technology was developed through the U.S. Department of Defense Technical Support Working Group program. Independent evaluation information is presented on the current validation page.
This history supports the underlying detection platform; organizations should use the product-specific datasheet and ChemSee guidance to determine suitability for a particular protocol.
