Food-contact samples
Food-contact sample test, laboratory protocols
The bottle body and the lid were migration-tested, and bisphenol A was not detected. Note what was handed to the laboratory: two parts, not the whole bottle.

- Exact scope
- Two submitted parts and no others: the Tritan cup body and the aluminium lid. Migration into deionised water, n-heptane and 50% ethanol against the stated limits, plus bisphenol A at a 0.05 mg/kg reporting limit. This is the document behind the words BPA-free Tritan on this site, which is a manufacturer material specification confirmed for the submitted body sample.

What the document records
| Samples given to the laboratory | Two only - cup body (Tritan) and cup lid (aluminium) |
| NOT given to the laboratory | The electrode plate and membrane assembly that sits in the water |
| Bisphenol A (BPA) | Not detected - reporting limit 0.05 mg/kg, by LC-MS/MS |
| Body, extractables in deionised water | Not detected - limit 0.15% |
| Body, extractables in n-heptane | Not detected - limit 0.15% |
| Body, extractables in 50% ethanol | Not detected - limit 0.15% |
| Lid, distilled water 120F/24h | Not detected - requirement 18 mg/inch2 |
| Lid, 8% ethanol 70F/0.5h | Not detected - requirement 18 mg/inch2 |
| Lid, n-heptane 70F/0.5h | Not detected - requirement 18 mg/inch2 |
| Conclusion | Pass, for the two samples tested |
What it proves. For the two submitted samples only - identified in the report as a Tritan cup body and aluminium lid - the reported extractives were below the stated limits and bisphenol A was not detected at a 0.05 mg/kg reporting limit.
What it does not prove. It is a laboratory test report measured against FDA regulations. It is not an FDA approval, clearance, registration or endorsement - the FDA does not approve consumer products of this kind - and it says nothing about hydrogen. Most importantly, IT DOES NOT COVER EVERY PART THAT TOUCHES YOUR WATER. The laboratory was given two samples: the body and the lid. The electrode plate and the proton exchange membrane at the base of the chamber - the assembly that sits in your water, under electrical current, for the entire cycle - were not tested. On a device whose whole purpose is to run a current through drinking water, that is the part a careful buyer would most want tested. We have asked for it.
In practice. Treat it as evidence about the two parts named on it. It is why this site says the body and lid were migration-tested rather than the bottle was migration-tested, the difference is a real one, and the untested part is the one sitting in the water under current. Getting that part tested is the first item on our missing list below.
Two regulation mismatches you should know about. 21 CFR 177.1580 is written for polycarbonate resins, and the body is a copolyester, which the FDA clears through a food-contact notification rather than this section. 21 CFR 175.300 covers resinous and polymeric coatings applied over a substrate, and the lid is declared simply as aluminium. The extractives protocols the laboratory ran are recognised and the results are real, but these are not the regulations that govern these two materials. The report is also valid only for the samples tested.
