SCIENTIFIC AND GOVERNMENTAL STUDIES

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.
- 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.
- 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.”
