SCIENTIFIC AND GOVERNMENTAL STUDIES PROVE
Viable Home Mold Testing Kits Really Work!

IMS Laboratory’s Kits provide an accurate and inexpensive way to test the air in your home or office

Two different scientific studies found a strong correlation between the IMS Laboratory type viable home mold test kits and the air samplers used by Mold Professionals.  These studies found that the number of species isolated on settle plates similar to the IMS Laboratory viable home mold test kit, following the IMS Laboratory protocol, was not significantly different from that obtained with four major types of volumetric air samplers as are used by mold professionals.

  1. Presence of viable mold propagules in indoor air in relation to house damp and outdoor air. Allergy, 47:83 (1992)  Verhoeff, A.P., van Wijnen, J.H., Brunekreff, B., Fisher, P., van Reenen-Hoekstra, E.S., and Samson, R.A.
     
  2. Enumeration and identification of airborne viable mold propagules in houses: a field comparison of selected techniques. Allergy, 45:275 (1990)  Verhoeff, A.P., van Wijnen, J.H., Boleij, J.S.M., Brunekreff, B., van Reenen-Hoekstra, E.S., and Samson, R.A.

“As semi-quantitative samplers, when adequately exposed (a commonly used protocol is for one hour at tabletop level under conditions of ordinary room activity), they can readily be used to discern the likely presence of significant indoor mold amplifiers.”
"The strength of [IMS Laboratory’s viable home mold test kit] technique lies in the fact that epidemiologically important toxigenic or allergenic fungi... must be present in large quantities.”
