Indoor air sampling
A pump draws a measured volume of air, often about 15 liters per minute for five to ten minutes, through a spore trap cassette. The lab counts and identifies spores per cubic meter.

A few recent testing jobs, in customers' own words.

My landlord kept saying the spots in my bedroom were just dirt. The tape-lift came back as Cladosporium and Aspergillus, and the air sample was well above outdoor levels. That report got the repair done.
After paying for remediation, I wanted proof. The clearance air samples came back lower than the outdoor control, and I finally felt comfortable moving my kids back into the basement.
We were selling and the buyer asked about a past leak. A quick cavity sample plus air testing showed nothing unusual, and the deal closed on time.
He walked me through every number on the report instead of just emailing a PDF. Knowing what was normal versus elevated made the whole thing less stressful.
Air sampling measures spores floating in a room compared with outdoor air. Surface sampling identifies what's growing on a specific spot. Many situations call for one or the other, not both.
Mold spores are always present outdoors. The outdoor control sets a baseline, so indoor results can be judged by whether they're higher or contain different types than outside.
Standard lab turnaround is usually two to three business days. Many labs offer 24-hour or same-day rush analysis for an added fee.
Settle-plate kits from the hardware store almost always grow something because spores are everywhere. Without an outdoor control or measured air volume, the results can't tell you much.
No official threshold exists. Testers look at how indoor counts and types compare to outdoor air on the same day.
ERMI analyzes settled dust using DNA methods to identify mold species. It's sometimes used in health-related investigations, though most residential decisions rely on air and surface sampling.
