SURFACE SWAB FOR DNA ANALYSIS FOR THE PRESENCE OF TOXIGENIC MOULDS IN SETTLED DUST

This sealed swab (similar to a cotton bud) test is a simple yet effective way to assess indoor mould contamination. Designed to collect settled dust from horizontal surfaces, this test identifies 20 of the most common toxic mould species associated with water damage.

Perfect for targeted sampling, this test is especially useful for assessing smaller, hard-to-reach areas such as HVAC systems, vents, and other confined spaces where traditional sampling methods may not be practical.

Species - As listed below:

• Universal Fungi,
• Acremonium Strictum,
• Alternaria Alternata,
• Aspergillus Fumigatus,
• Aspergillus Glaucus grp,
• Aspergillus Niger,
• Aspergillus Versicolor,
• Chaetomium Globosum,
