• Provides optimum flow rate.
• Can be used with Spore traps (VersaTrap Cassette or Air-O-Cell Cassettes) attached to sampling wand accessory.
• Mount with Spore traps (VersaTrap Cassette or Air-O-Cell Cassettes) on tripod accessory to monitor breathing zone level.
• Use with Spore traps (VersaTrap Cassette or Air-O-Cell Cassettes) and wall adapter for mold screening in wall cavities.

$50 per day, or $200 per week.

Air-O-Cell, Allergenco, or VersaTrap Cassettes:
Used for non-culturable air samples (also referred to as non-viable or total fungal spore counts)

• These cassettes collect airborne spores, pollen, fibres and other particulates on a sticky surface.
• Collected material are analyzed by direct microscopy. No culturing is required.
• Mold spores identified to genus level where possible.
• Results can be obtained the same day or even onsite hence useful for final mold clearance.
• Samples generally taken for 5 or 10 min. Samples may be taken for longer or shorter periods depending on the environment being sampled.

$10 $8 per cassette

Mold Tape Slide:
Used for surface sampling of visible mold

$2 per slide

RCS Agar strip: Used for culturable air samples

The Biotest Agar Strips are used with the RCS sampler (High Flow, Isolator, Plus and Standard Microbial Air Sampler). They are easily loaded into the rotor of the sampler. The Agar Strip packaging is composed of a plastic holder with grids (wells) filled with 11 g of a sterile specific solid agar medium. Each agar strip is individually enclosed in a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic to protect them from contamination.

$5 per strip

Swab

Sterile swabs are ideal for testing the level of contamination on surfaces. Swabs are very useful on hard-to-reach places such as crevices. Both mold and bacteria can be tested by culture methods from a single swab. It is recommended that wet swabs are used on dry surfaces and dry swabs on wet surfaces. Wet culture medium swabs are required for bacterial sampling.
