Nova has available a Home Mold Test Kit! Collect yourself and send to Nova for testing.

DESCRIPTION:
A sampling and testing program to determine the kinds and numbers of molds, bacteria, allergens, and biological and chemical toxins present in homes, buildings, and other dwellings. Interpretation of results is included.

TESTS PERFORMED:

1. Microscopic evaluation of dust collected by sticky tape preparations

2. Microscopic and culture evaluation of dust collect by mini vacuum

3. Total and viable microorganism (mold/bacteria) evaluation of air collected by liquid impingement

4. Biological toxin evaluation of air collected by liquid impingement

5. Chemical toxin evaluation of air collected by liquid impingement

SAMPLE TYPES:

1. Dust collected by sticky tape

2. Dust collected by mini vacuum

3. Air collected by liquid impingement
