test kit available to consumers. Our Mold Test Kit allows a home, business or building
owner to sample for mold spores in the ambient air and to sample visible mold using
the same techniques/methods utilized by environmental consultants. Our Mold Test
Kit allows the collection of mold samples using two different sampling methods, and
they are:
Quantifiable Ambient Air Sampling using an air sampling technique specifically
designed for this kit;
Mold Tape Slides for areas where visible mold colonies are growing.
The Mold Test Kit includes the following materials:
Five (5) Special Designed Mold Tape Slides;
Five (5) Plastic Protective Mailers;
Prepaid Sample Shipping Envelope;
Easy to Complete, Fill-in the blank, Chain-of-Custody Card for sample identification;

used. The greater the adhesiveness of the tape or slide, the better the laboratory results. Samples should be
taken by folding the end (for handling) of a 1 to 2 inch piece of tape, or using a specially manufactured tape
slide, and touching the adhesive side to a surface where mold growth is suspected, and gently pressing the
tape or tape slide with enough pressure to create an impression of the mold colonies. Tape slides, if
available, are preferred due to the easy nature of sampling and the minimal potential loss of mold spores
during sampling, shipment and analysis." - John Bromley, PhD Microbiologist, January 2004, Mold Sampling
Procedures for Effectively Evaluating Toxic Mold.
