Lumati Detect
Saliva-Based Microplastics Exposure Test
Lumati Detect is a saliva-based microplastics exposure test processed in our U.S. partner laboratory. It provides a personalized snapshot of detected microplastic particles in your saliva sample, offering a simple way to establish a wellness baseline and monitor changes over time.
The Growing Science of Microplastic Exposure
Research increasingly shows that microplastics are present in the human body. Peer-reviewed studies have detected microplastics in human blood, lung tissue, and the digestive system. Emerging research is exploring how microplastics may interact with biological systems, though the full clinical significance is still being studied.
Understanding your detected microplastic presence can provide additional context around everyday environmental exposure and help inform personal lifestyle choices.
The health effects of microplastic exposure are an active area of scientific research. Detection of microplastics does not indicate disease or toxicity. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with any health-related concerns.
Your Personal Microplastics Report—Made Simple
Lumati Detect uses fluorescent microscopy with Nile Red staining to analyze saliva samples for the presence of microplastic particles. Particles are categorized by size and processed in our U.S. partner laboratory.
Because saliva offers a convenient, low-contamination collection method, it provides a simple and repeatable way to monitor changes in detected microplastic particles over time.

What the Size Categories Mean
Microplastics are grouped by particle size to provide additional context about the types of particles detected in your sample.
Typically found in common environmental sources such as air and dust.
Often associated with a range of everyday environmental sources, including food and water.
Larger particles that reflect broader environmental exposure or variation in sampling.
Understanding Your Particle Count
Your results table shows the number of microplastic particles detected in each size category, along with your total count and calculated concentration.
Example:
Total particles detected: 6
Calculated concentration: 60 P/ml
Particle Count by Size Category
The number of particles detected within each measured size range.
Calculated Concentration (P/ml)
The number of particles per milliliter, based on a 100 μL sample.
Total Particle Count
The sum of all microplastic particles detected across all size categories.
Lower total counts indicate lower detected microplastic levels in your sample. In some cases, no particles may be detected.

Who Should Test
Microplastic exposure is invisible, but it can be measured. It varies based on diet, environment, and daily habits.
Lumati Detect provides a personal snapshot of detected microplastic particles in your sample, offering context for more informed everyday choices.
Anyone interested in understanding their personal exposure and everyday environment.
Individuals that live near industrial or manufacturing sites
Anyone who relies on municipal tap water as their primary source of hydration.
People who often eat meals stored, heated, or delivered in plastic packaging.
Those who regularly wear or use coated clothing, outdoor gear, or treated fabrics.
Individuals who use vape products.
Those working in or who have worked in manufacturing, construction, textiles, or cleaning environments where particulate exposure may be more common.
Where Microplastics May Be Found in Everyday Life
Microplastics are present in some everyday habits and materials.
Chewing Gum
Many chewing gums contain plastics. Consider natural, plastic-free alternatives.
Salt Grinders
Use salt in glass or paper packaging when possible, and consider ceramic or metal grinders instead of plastic.
Hot Drinks
Choose glass or ceramic mugs for hot beverages. Some plastic-lined cups may shed microplastics when exposed to heat.
Tea Bags
Choose tea bags made with cotton or paper. Some “biodegradable” options may still contain plastic fibers.
