Working with Arcotest GmbH since 1989 under private labeling, Arcotest remains the original manufacturer who has spent nearly five decades perfecting our testing solutions. Lotar has been a part of this for nearly four decades. Lotar Enterprises serves North America and Mexico, providing quality products backed by guarantees you can trust. Reach out to us to learn more about how the QUICKTEST 38® Pen can meet your testing needs. (Also see our Rapidtest 38® for a much less toxic solution.)
