Mold Test Kit

Understanding how to use a mold test kit effectively is crucial for accurately identifying and addressing mold issues in your home. Our comprehensive mold test kit includes everything you need to conduct air and surface sampling and identify the mold species present.

01. Air Test Sampling

The air test sampling helps detect mold spores present in the air, which can indicate mold growth even if it is not visible.

Use the agar plates provided in the kit. Follow the instructions to collect air samples. The dish will capture mold spores in the air, which can then be analyzed.

02. Mold Exposure Evalution

This step involves assessing the level of mold exposure in your environment, helping you understand the potential health risks.

Combine the results from the air test sampling with your observations to evaluate the extent of mold presence. High concentrations of mold spores in the air, suggest significant mold exposure.

03. Surface Test Sampling

Surface test sampling helps identify mold growing on surfaces in your home, which may not always be visible to the naked eye.

Use the swabs or tape lifts provided in the kit to collect samples from these surfaces. Gently rub the swab or press the tape against the surface, then place it in the provided container for analysis.

04. Mold identification

Identifying the specific types of mold in your home helps in understanding the potential health risks and the appropriate remediation steps.

Observation: After allowing time for the mold colonies to grow on the culture medium, compare them to the images and descriptions provided in the identification booklet included in your kit. This booklet includes photos and characteristics of common household molds, such as color, texture, and growth patterns.
