Mold and
Fungus
Analysis
EMS
Laboratories, Inc., has participated in
the AIHA, EMPAT program, since it started, (Environmental Microbiology
Proficiency Analytical Testing - Lab #101634).
Our services include microscopic identification of nonviable and viable
mold as follows:
Non-Viable
Analysis
a) Air-O-Cell
Involves microscopic identification and enumeration of
spores (e.g. Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Penicillum and Cladosporium),
pollens, insect parts, etc. The molds and pollens are identified
to genus level and the results are expressed in counts per cubic meter
of air.
b) Tape-Lift, Swab, & Bulk
This service involves microscopic identification of spores, pollens,
insect parts, etc. The results are qualitatively expressed as
trace (1+); Low (2+); Moderate (3+); and High (4+).
Viable
Analysis
Air Andersen and Swab
The samples are cultured on MEA for 5 to7 days. Results are
reported in colony form units / per cubic meter (CFU/M). Certain
Aspergillus are differentiated into species level.
