Mold Screen Check

The test is easy. Simply open the case, fill out the form, peel back the tape, apply the tape to a horizontal surface, close the tape, close the case, drop the case and form into the pre-paid envelope. Results are returned by e-mail with a pdf mold report in 1-2 weeks.This test covers multiple species. My first test revealed 10 different species. The second test revealed six species that were common to the first test. The difference was location - the original flooded room and the building ventilation, respectively. The test results identify the species with paragraph descriptions for each species describing colors, shapes, habitats, and associated diseases and allergies.The lab report provides e-mail and phone number for contacting the lab. The lab staff are very friendly, courteous, and tremendously helpful explaining what their report means.I used this test twice to prove mold where I am forced to work. My doctors are using the reports to write statements recommending my removal from the mold hazards in a room and throughout the ventilation.

I sent in the test and expected that the results would be more detailed. It came back as "Low", but didn't specify which molds turned up positive. For someone with severe allergies to some but not all molds, that information is important. I knew I had some mold already - I wanted to know what type and to what extent. I didn't get $70 worth of information, so I feel like this was money and effort wasted. I emailed the contact specified on the report, requesting more information, but did not receive a response.

ended up hiring someone to come do the testing. This test was not correct

I detected some black powdery residue at the base of our bedroom air filter and accumulated in the filter itself. Living in Florida, I thought we may have a mold problem. I ordered this mold analysis kit from EDLab through Amazon and received it within a couple of days. I followed the simple instructions and mailed the sample back. The results came back in just a few days by e-mail in the form of a very thorough laboratory analysis of the samples showing no mold. I called their toll free number and talked with the actual chemist who did the analysis of my sample. He took the time to explain all the findings of normal household microscopic particles in the sample and reassured me there was no mold present. In the microscope he could visually see some black, opaque particles that were not mold; but that the test was not design to analyze chemically. Since I wanted to know what the black powder was, I asked if I could send them the actual filter cartridge for further analysis. He put me in contact with the office and I was instructed how to ship the filter and told that I would be called with an estimate of the cost of any further chemical analysis they may recommend to determine the nature of the particles. After they received the filter they call me and recommended an initial test with a cost of $35 which I authorized. A few day latter I received a very extensive chemical analysis of what was on the filter: definitely no mold but lots of soot from an undetermined combustion source. Eureka! It turns out my wife has been burning "fragrance" candles frequently, not too far from the filter, prior to me noticing the black deposits. The caring and great customer support provided by EDLab personnel was outstanding and the final results provided us with the peace of mind of knowing our home air quality is excellent. All for under $100 total!

Sent the test in weeks ago, still no result, it was simple enough to do but it doesn't help if they don't send results after you mail it in

Actually I bought it for my daughter who was worried about mold in her house. As we thought, there is a minor issue, but the best part of the test was the ease of use and the one-on-one discussion the individual had with my daughter before she completed the test and after she recived the report. I feel the company is very customer friendly.

They never returned the results of my test so i give them 0-1 star

This was really good. I was freaking out as I thought there must be mold spores in my home. I did the check with this and I am so relieve that there isn't any mold. And by the way - their call in customer service is great.
