Lead paint inspection software, from XRF trigger pull to compliance report.
aQRate connects directly to your XRF analyzer, timestamps and geotags every reading automatically, and routes inconclusive results into a digital chain of custody — no clipboard, no manual transcription, no gap in the record.

Digital chain of custody created for lab confirmationCollect offline, anywhere
Mechanical vaults, basements and occupied units rarely have signal. The aQRate field app keeps every XRF reading and chain-of-custody entry on the device, then syncs automatically when you step back into range.
Connected mobile-to-portal
Readings flow from the field app to the web portal, where QA/QC compliance checks, NIST calibration logs and lab results stay attached to one record — not three separate spreadsheets.
One-click reports
Turn a finished lead-based paint survey into an executive KPI summary or an auditor-ready compliance report without reformatting a single cell.
Automatic capture
Every reading timestamped and geotagged automatically.
aQRate connects via Bluetooth directly to the XRF hardware. The moment the trigger is pulled, aQRate creates a record with an automatic GPS coordinate and measurement timestamp — no estimated times, no manual Read ID entry, no transcription back at the office.
The reading arrives already matched to the right surface, Read ID and regulatory monitoring zone.
GPS provenance is captured on site, so every point in the report traces back to a spot on the building.
Timestamps come from the device clock — the sequence of a 200-point survey never has to be reconstructed from memory.
Grey Zone resolution
Inconclusive readings never go missing.
When an XRF reading lands in the inconclusive Grey Zone, the inspector adds the sample ID directly in the aQRate field app. Sample data populates a digital lab chain of custody automatically; when Flame AAS lab results come back — via API or uploaded report — aQRate auto-links them to the original field record and updates the regulatory status. No re-typed percentages, no lost sample IDs.
Sample IDs are created in the field app the moment a reading lands in the inconclusive Grey Zone.
The digital CoC replaces the paper form that used to ride shotgun to the lab.
Lab-confirmed lead-by-weight results update the reading's regulatory status on their own.
Built for every kind of lead paint survey operation
From a single-unit assessment to a portfolio-wide HUD survey, aQRate keeps the field record and the compliance record in the same place.
Environmental consulting firms
Standardize XRF surveys across every inspector and field crew, so a report from Tuesday looks like one from Thursday.
Industrial hygienists
Run NIST-compliant QA/QC checks with every shift's calibration — Start-Shift, Mid-Shift and End-Shift — logged automatically.
Multi-family and property asset managers
Maintain a defensible compliance record across an entire portfolio, unit by unit and surface by surface.
Remediation contractors
Target spending using the same positive/negative dataset the survey produced, not a re-typed summary.
HUD and EPA compliance teams
Generate audit-ready reports built directly from field and lab data, traceable back to the trigger pull.
Risk assessors
Compare XRF and lab-confirmed results against the regulatory framework automatically.
The survey form
What a lead-based paint survey captures in aQRate.
Every inspection point becomes a complete record: the XRF reading in mg/cm² and its POS, NEG or Inconclusive call, the sample ID when a reading needs lab confirmation, and the regulatory monitoring zone the surface belongs to.
The GPS coordinate and timestamp arrive from the connected XRF device, each shift's NIST calibration check result rides along with the readings, and the lab-confirmed lead-by-weight percentage lands in the same record when the Flame AAS results come back.

A real 200-point survey, mapped end to end
We ran a lead-based paint inspection on a historic multi-family complex in Boulder, CO — built in the late 1960s, spanning exterior surfaces, common areas, 10 residential units, and mechanical vault spaces, with over 200 individual inspection points logged. Of 36 inconclusive XRF readings, lab confirmation resolved 21 as positive and 15 as negative, letting the remediation team target spending instead of re-coating the whole property.
reduction in reporting and manual data handling overhead — measured on this demo project, not a company-wide benchmark.
