Non-Cultured (Immediate, Rush, and 2-Day Results)

  • Air Samples - ASTM D7391 - Determination of Fungal Concentrations in Airborne Samples (Air-O-Cell®, Allergenco D®, Cyclex D®, Micro 5, Digital DIS, and more).
  • Bulk and Surface Samples - ASTM D7658-17 - Determination of Fungal Particulates (Tape lifts, Swabs, Wipes, Dust, and Bulk Materials)

Expanded analyses are available to include other particulates including pollen, skin, insect parts, debris, etc..

Non-cultured analyses are reported as total spore counts and concentrations using a relative ranking scale 1-5

Cultured (10 - 14 Day Results)

  • Air Samples - Determination of Viable Fungal Concentrations in Airborne Samples (Andersen and Via-Cell)
  • Bulk and Surface Samples. Determination of Viable Fungal Particulates in Bulk and Surface Samples (Swabs, Wipes, Dust, and Bulk Materials)

Cultured analyses are reported as Colony Forming Units (CFUs) per unit area, weight, or volume depending on the sample media.


BACTERIAL SERVICES 

Bacterial contamination can happen at any time causing the need for environmental monitoring to prevent harmful microbes from contaminating surfaces, water, air or bulk materials.  Microbial testing can help ensure that bacterial contamination has properly identified or properly addressed. Moody Labs provides the following bacterial analyses to assist with evaluating bacterial contamination:   

Air, Water, Surface, and Bulk Samples 

  • E.coli and Coliforms (1-2 days turnaround time) 
    • Presence / Absence testing (Water, Swabs and Bulk) 
    • CFU count (Swabs and Bulk) 
  • Enterococci (1-2 days turnaround time) 
    • Presence / Absence testing (Water, Swabs and Bulk) 
  • Heterotrophic Plate Count (2-3 days turnaround time) 
    • CFU count (Water)   
  • Staphylococcus (1-2 days turnaround time) 
    • Presence / absence testing (Swabs and Bulk) 
    • CFU count (Swabs and Bulk) 
  • Total Plate Count  (2-3 days turnaround time) 
    • CFU count (Water, Swab, Air and Bulk) 
  • Total Plate Count w/ gram stain (2-3 days) 
    • CFU count and reporting of gram negative and gram-positive bacteria colonies using gram stain techniques  (Water, Swab, Air and Bulk)
