AccuKits, LLC has developed and manufactured the most comprehensive toxic mold test kit available to consumers. Our Comprehensive Toxic Mold Test Kit allows a home, business or building owner to sample for toxic mold using up to four different sampling methods. The methods presented in the kit are the exact same techniques/methods utilized by environmental consultants during the performance of a mold assessment but at a fraction of the cost. The Comprehensive Kit includes:
Two (2) Air Sampling Cassettes for sampling ambient air samples;
One (1) Easy To Use Hand Pump;
Five (5) Mold Tape Slides for sampling areas of visible mold;
Three (3) Sterile Transport Swabs for sampling hard to reach visible mold or void spaces between walls;
Two (2) Wipes for sampling water damaged areas;
Two (2) Pre-Labeled 3" by 5" Sample Bags;
Prepaid Sample Shipping Envelope and Protective Bubble Wrap;
Easy to Complete, Fill-in the blank, Chain-of-Custody Card for sample identification;

"Sampling air by impacting airborne material against a sticky surface "Spore Trap" provides a relatively simple and cost-effective was to assess spore levels. This method does not discriminate between viable (alive) and non-viable (dead or dormant) spores, and spores can be counted so that estimates can be made of number of spores per cubic meter of air. Passive sampling methods such as agar plates are not good indicators of ambient mold spore, because not all mold spores grow well, or at all, in culture including many basidiospores, Stachybotrys chartarum (atra), rust, smuts, some xerophilic and those spores that grow better in low water availability, specifically, Penicillium and Aspergillus, as well as those spores that are no longer viable, but my still be allergenic." - Trevor Lumley, PhD Microbiologist, August 2003, Study of Toxic Mold
