How Do We Test For Mold?

Air Sampling

Using laboratory-grade equipment, we measure the types and concentrations of airborne mold spores within the target area. For accurate comparison, we also collect at least one outdoor sample. Standard results are provided within 2-3 business days, with next-day service available upon request. Sample Air Report

Surface Sampling

Using laboratory-grade tools, we collect samples from various surfaces to confirm mold growth, assess spore activity, and identify mold types present on the area of concern. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are available, with results typically ready in 2-3 business days; next-day service is also available. Sample Surface Report

Bulk Material Sampling

Bulk material sampling involves testing a small section (e.g., 3” x 3”) of material to confirm mold growth, assess spore activity, and identify mold types within the sample. For instance, this could be used on discolored attic insulation. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are available, with results typically ready in 2-3 business days; next-day service is also available. Sample Bulk Report

ERMI Sampling

The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) test uses a dust sample, collected using a DustCheck or Swiffer method. The lab analyzes the sample with quantitative PCR to detect and quantify 36 specific mold species, generating a score based on water damage-related molds vs. common indoor molds. Standard results are available in 5-10 business days, with expedited options. Sample ERMI Report

EMMA Mycotoxin Sampling

The Environmental Mold and Mycotoxin Assessment, or EMMA, is a highly sensitive test developed by RealTime Laboratories. The EMMA sample detects the presence of 12 toxigenic molds and 16 mycotoxins.
