The three fish tissue tests in one order: metals, PFAS, and a pesticide screen. Same tests, same price as buying them separately, one purchase and one set of instructions.Each test covers a different group of contaminants, and no single panel covers them all. Mercury is the most common reason states advise limits on eating freshwater fish; PFOS is the fastest-growing reason; pesticide residues matter where farmland, orchards, or turf operations drain into the lake. Ordering all three answers the question as fully as these panels allow, from one sampling effort.You can run all three on portions of the same fish, or on three different fish, as long as you record species, length, weight, catch location, and catch date for each sample. Both are legitimate; they answer slightly different questions.What this bundle does and does not decide. Lake Pulse sells tests that measure what is in the fish. We do not decide whether you can eat it. Fish consumption advice is issued by state health and natural resource agencies, which set advice by species, by size, and by who is eating, and their advisory for your lake stands regardless of what a single fillet shows. Check your state advisory first, and treat these results as additional information alongside it.Included in this bundle: Fish Tissue Metals Test — mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead Fish Tissue PFAS Test — PFAS, including PFOS Fish Tissue Pesticide Screen — a broad screen of pesticide residues These panels do not cover PCBs, another common driver of state fish advisories. Your state's own fish testing program is the place to look for those.
