About Detekt

Detekt Home brings lab-grade science out of the lab and into everyday homes, making it easy to test for things like mold, bacteria, lead, and radon with confidence. Built on decades of experience as a laboratory instrumentation company, Detekt Home designs and manufactures rapid tests in the USA, backed by real science and patented technology. Our goal is simple: give families clear answers about their home and peace of mind they can trust.

Our History

Detekt began as a laboratory instrumentation company in Austin, TX, designing and manufacturing rapid diagnostic readers used by scientists, researchers, and regulated industries around the world. For years, our work focused on building highly sensitive, reliable tools that turn complex chemistry into clear, usable results.

The same rapid testing technology used in labs could help people understand their homes, water, and environments before problems became serious. That realization led to the creation of Detekt Home: a consumer-focused extension of our core technology, built to bring lab-grade screening tools into everyday spaces.

Today, Detekt Home offers easy-to-use rapid tests for things like mold, bacteria, lead, radon, and water quality. These tests are designed for awareness and screening, giving people timely information so they can decide what to do next without waiting weeks for answers.

All Detekt products are developed and manufactured in the United States. Our team holds multiple patents and has decades of experience in diagnostics, optics, chemistry, and product engineering.

That background shows up in the quality of what we make, from test sensitivity to clear instructions to reliable results. We believe testing shouldn’t be intimidating or inaccessible. Whether you’re protecting your family, monitoring your home, or just looking for peace of mind, our goal is simple: deliver trusted science, made practical for real life.
