How to test for copper and lead / [by Lyndsie Selwyn].: NM95-57/17-3-2016E-PDF

"Spot tests are one of the simplest analytical techniques for identifying metals. This CCI Note describes the procedure and the required materials to detect lead or copper in metals using commercial spot test papers. No sampling of the object is required. The first step in the procedure involves testing known samples of copper and lead to gain experience using the test papers and to confirm that they are working properly. Then unknown metals can be tested. For more information on spot tests in conservation, consult The science behind test papers for metals"--Intro., p. 3.
