HOW IT WORKS

On site, you’ll be collecting a control sample from outside.

This reading will be the basis for determining what comes from the home itself and what is already present in the ambient air.

Then you’ll sample at least 2 locations within the home, ideally where dampness or mould is suspected or at risk.

Set your air sampling pump in the desired location, press the air sampling cassette onto the pump, and press the sample button.

When completed, remove the cassette, replace the protective film, and move on to the next location.

Once you’re done sampling, place the air sampling cassettes into an appropriate padded envelope, register them in the online Mould Sample Return Form (the link is in your order e-mail) and affix the return label that we included with your supplies.

You can drop it off at the nearest shipping provider, and you’re all set! Your report will be available with 48-hours from when we receive your samples.

When we receive your air sample cassettes or surface sample tape/swabs, we remove the glass slide containing the air sample, and digitally scan it using whole slide image scanners that contain powerful microscope lenses.

This produces the digital images that we send to the AI.

Our AI then identifies and counts mold spores and air particulates. Our algorithms are taught using hundreds of thousands of images that industry experts have identified (it’s like having multiple mycologist experts analyzing every one of your samples).

One of our analysts then confirms the results and generates your report.

Once we have analysed all of the samples in your job, our system compares the indoor samples with the outdoor sample, and generates a Mould Elevation Level indicator, (or a Mould Growth indicator for surface samples).

We then select several actual images from the sample and include them in the report, along with recommendations for the home owner.
