Why The SciAps X-550 Matters in Central New York
In Syracuse and across Central New York, many buildings date back decades-paint layers, lead soil residue, and aging
infrastructure make precise testing essential. The SciAps X-550 allows us to deliver fast, accurate lead determinations on site-
whether inspecting a century-old home, apartment complex, or commercial property. Because it reads low atomic number elements
faster and with high accuracy, it helps catch contamination that older, slower tools might miss. For homeowners, landlords, and
municipalities alike, using cutting-edge XRF technology means quicker compliance, safer environments, and fewer surprises. With
one phone call, CNY Lead Testing LLC can schedule your inspection, perform the scan, and produce results that satisfy EPA, HUD,
or local code requirements-protecting children, tenants, and stakeholders alike.
