MEASUREMENTS OF FUNGI AND BACTERIA

Visual inspections and traditional laboratory cultivation can leave room for doubt and costly delays. Mycometer offers a suite of scientifically validated, rapid testing methods designed to provide indoor environmental professionals with objective, reproducible data directly on-site:

• Mycometer Surface Fungi (MSF): Quantifies total fungal biomass (viable and non-viable) using enzyme-targeted technology. Perfect for documenting mold growth and performing Post-Remediation Verification (PRV).

• Mycometer Air Fungi (MAF): Utilizes standardized, aggressive air sampling to capture aerosolized mold particles, eliminating the false negatives commonly caused by passive sampling.

• Mycometer Surface Bacteria: Delivers rapid quantification of total bacterial contamination on surfaces within an hour-essential for sewage clean-up validation and sanitation verification without waiting days for plate counts.

• Mycometer Air Allergen: Screens indoor air quality by measuring the total biological allergen exposure risk from mold, dust mites, and other indoor sources.

Time is money, but speed means nothing without accuracy. Unlike standard ATP tests-which often fail to effectively extract particles from thick-walled cells and lack organism specificity—Mycometer’s patented methodology isolates specific target enzymes (such as NAHA for fungal biomass).

Our technology provides a highly reproducible measure of total biological burden that does not rely on subjective personal interpretation. This uncompromising scientific standard is why Mycometer’s methods have been verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and have been successfully accepted as expert evidence in multiple court proceedings across the United States.

To maintain the highest level of accuracy and fairness in the industry, Mycometer equipment is not a standard over-the-counter tool. It is strictly operated by trained professionals.

We require all consultants, remediators, and technicians to undergo specialized training-either through our interactive online curriculum or comprehensive 5-hour on-site courses. Every operator must pass a mandatory final examination with a score of at least 80% to achieve certification. This rigorous process guarantees that every sample is collected, analyzed, and interpreted according to strict, standardized protocols.
