Controlled Substance Residue Testing in Florida
(Methamphetamine, Fentanyl & Cocaine)
5 Microns Inc. is one of the few independent environmental testing firms in Florida offering laboratory-confirmed controlled substance residue assessments statewide. Our role is limited to objective surface sampling and documentation — not remediation — ensuring unbiased results suitable for real estate, legal, and compliance use.
Independent, lab-certified methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine residue testing — for documentation, compliance, and due diligence.
Non-invasive wipe sampling appropriate for occupied buildings.
Drug residue contamination is increasingly identified during real estate transactions, rental turnovers, and legal disputes throughout Florida.
Unlike states with formalized cleanup registries, Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide methamphetamine contamination threshold. As a result, property owners, buyers, and attorneys rely on independent environmental testing to determine whether contamination is present.
5 Microns Inc. provides laboratory-based surface contamination assessments for:
We perform independent testing only — no remediation — ensuring unbiased documentation suitable for real estate, legal, and compliance use.
Drug residue contamination is not limited to large-scale manufacturing activity. In Florida, testing is commonly requested due to:
Surface contamination can remain after occupancy changes, and contamination is not always visible. Laboratory surface sampling provides objective confirmation of whether measurable residue is present.
We provide lab-certified methamphetamine and fentanyl residue testing for:
All samples are analyzed by certified laboratories, with written results suitable for property records and third-party review.
All sampling is performed using established environmental surface wipe protocols. Samples are submitted under documented chain-of-custody procedures and analyzed by certified laboratories.
Laboratory results are reported in standardized units (µg/100 cm² where applicable) and accompanied by written documentation suitable for:
Maintaining separation between testing and remediation ensures objective, defensible results.
We do not perform remediation or cleanup. Our role is limited to independent testing and documentation, so the results are unbiased and suitable for legal, real estate, and compliance use.
Methamphetamine contamination can result from both manufacturing activity and chronic indoor use. Surface residues may persist on walls, ceilings, HVAC registers, cabinets, and other high-contact areas.
Samples are analyzed by certified laboratories and reported in micrograms per 100 square centimeters (µg/100 cm²).
Fentanyl contamination has become an increasing concern in residential and rental properties due to heightened public awareness and health sensitivity.
While fentanyl exposure risk depends on multiple factors, property owners and buyers often request laboratory confirmation when prior drug activity is suspected. Surface wipe sampling can determine whether detectable fentanyl residue is present on high-contact interior surfaces.
Testing may be requested in situations such as:
All samples are analyzed by certified laboratories using established analytical methods. Results are reported clearly and objectively, allowing clients to determine appropriate next steps based on laboratory findings.
Our role is limited to independent testing and documentation.
Cocaine residue contamination may occur in properties with heavy prior use, particularly short-term rental or turnover situations. Laboratory analysis confirms whether measurable contamination is present.
Not all contaminated properties were “clandestine labs.”
We assess contamination resulting from:
Both scenarios may leave measurable residue detectable through laboratory surface sampling.
We provide controlled substance residue testing throughout:
Travel fees may apply outside Miami-Dade County.
Based in South Florida, we provide statewide service with travel available to major metropolitan areas.
Instead of listing per sample:
Most condominium assessments include three strategically placed surface samples and laboratory analysis.
Single-family and multifamily properties require customized sampling scope depending on size and layout.

Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide methamphetamine cleanup threshold or public registry comparable to some other states.
For context, certain jurisdictions (such as Washington State) reference 0.1 µg/100 cm² as a cleanup benchmark. However, Florida property owners must rely on independent environmental testing to assess contamination and determine appropriate next steps.
Our role is limited to testing and documentation — not remediation.
*Because Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide contamination registry, independent laboratory testing is often the only objective method available to assess potential contamination.
Pricing depends on property size and number of sampling locations. Most residential assessments begin around $1,850.
Testing provides objective laboratory documentation that may be used in negotiations or disclosures. Legal decisions should be discussed with an attorney.
Residue may persist on interior surfaces until properly cleaned or remediated.
Testing confirms presence or absence of measurable residue so informed decisions can be made.
Yes. Laboratory analysis and written reports are suitable for third-party and legal review.
Controlled substance residue testing is commonly requested:
If you are facing a transaction deadline, compliance issue, or liability concern, contact us to discuss availability and appropriate sampling scope.
Same-week appointments may be available depending on location.
If you are purchasing, managing, or preparing to re-ocupy a property where drug activity was suspected, laboratory-confirmed surface testing provides objective clarity.
