From basic air quality screening to forensic-level fungal investigation — the right test for your situation.
💨
Non-Viable Spore Trap Air Sampling
Spore trap cassettes collect airborne particles that are then analyzed under microscopy to identify mold genera and count spore concentrations. Compared against an outdoor baseline sample, this data shows whether indoor spore counts are elevated and which genera are present. Fastest turnaround for routine Preston, MN air quality assessment.
🏭
Viable Culture Air Sampling
Culture plates capture live, culturable mold spores that then grow in the lab — allowing species-level identification and colony-forming unit counts. Used when species-level data matters: occupational health concerns, Stachybotrys investigation, or situations where genus-level data from spore traps isn't sufficient for your Preston, MN use case.
🎖
Surface Swab & Tape Lift Sampling
Surface samples collected from visible growth areas — swabs for culture analysis or tape lifts for direct microscopy — identify the species present on specific surfaces. Used to confirm whether visible staining is mold and which genus/species is involved before committing to remediation scope.
📄
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Independent clearance testing after any Preston, MN remediation job — whether we did the work or another contractor did. Lab report confirms the job is objectively complete.
🏢
HVAC & Ductwork Air Testing
Register-versus-room comparative sampling identifies whether your Preston, MN HVAC system is amplifying or distributing mold — essential before deciding whether duct cleaning will actually help.
🔋
Bulk & ERMI Sampling
ERMI dust sampling for your Preston property gives a historical picture of mold accumulation — useful when symptoms are present but air sampling comes back normal, or when assessing long-term remediation success.
