Mold Test Kit

Q: The unit comes with one test kit and they cost $27, why does it state that there are extra lab fees? What is the actual total cost of testing?

It's $35 per sample for lab analysis. This kit comes with two airborne collection sample 'cassettes' and 1 surface sticker sampler. If you submitted all three it's $105 for lab analysis. You can pay $15 more per sample for expedited processing.Big note!: the only way you can get any kind of results is by sending these samples into the My Mold Detective lab (and paying $35 per). This is unlike the petri dish kinds that at least show you if you have mold or not, and if you do, then you send to lab for analysis.

Q: do the kits test for black molds the smallest spores

The MyMoldDetective detects most active air born spores, Stachybotrys which is a large "heavy" spore can be detected in our air samples. Most often the conditions are rather moist and the "black" mold spore does not reach the air flow path. This is why MyMold Detective includes a surface sample to assist with identifying the presence of black mold, it is typically visible very close to the moisture source, then you should use the tape lift surface sample. If the "black" mold is found in the MMD Air Sample ore the Surface sample, MMD recommends consulting with an accredited, experienced Indoor Air Quality professional to provide more comprehensive investigation of the property. Remember mold testing is one of many tools too help Property Owners if mold is an issue with Their property. The MMD test kit is a screening device, and it's method is real and accurate with IAQ Pros. If lab results are not typical/abnormal MMD will recommend additional investigation by a qualified third party. They won't leave you hanging, it's your choice to take the advice or not. Good Luck!

Q: Am I better to test with the furnace running or off?

Looks like you are using the Mold Detective pump for airborne mold tests? As a mold consultant, I have performed mold tests on >2000 buildings over the last 16 years.. In general, you are better to test under NORMAL conditions. This is usually with the furnace running. Another type of test is to turn off the furnace, slap the outside of the furnace once or twice, turn the furnace back on and then take an air sample by a supply air vent near the furnace. For airborne mold tests, we recommend taking BOTH standard (undisturbed) airborne tests and lightly disturbed tests (use small fan swept near floor for one minute) and then take a "disturbed" airborne test. This should especially be done in basements. When sending in the samples, make sure the lab doing the analysis does at least x600 or x1000 magnification. Labs that only use x400 greatly underestimate the key problem mold Aspergillus-Penicillium. The larger national labs often do this. Smaller labs may not unless you specifically request it If your results show >1000-2000 spores/m3 of Asp-Pen, you may have a mold concern. I have lots of information on my web site but understand Amazon does not share this information to the questioner. I have used the Mold Detective pump and it does work. Take tests in the middle of the room, about 3-4 ft above the floor (in breathing zone). From moldymike
