The best value in consumer mold testing - bar none. No mold test available to consumers compares. For the first time, DNA diagnostics are available to everyone. This test identifies Toxic Black Mold and molds that are highly correlated with water damage and high moisture levels. Unlike other mold tests using settling plates, this test will not almost always tell you there is mold. Why not? Those tests detect if there is any mold. All buildings have mold, but most of it is harmless. This test only identifies molds that represent problems. Even better, if there is a problem our scientists are more than glad to discuss your next steps and deeper analysis can be run on the same sample if you desire. If you think there could be a mold issue in a building, this is by far the most cost-effective way to start diagnosis. No test under $120 provides this much information and no additional costs are involved in the analysis - the lab fees and shipping to the lab are included.
Tests for Stachybotrys (commonly called Black Mold or Toxic Mold) as well as Aspergillus and Penicillium family molds, which are highly correlated with water leaks and high moisture levels.
Important Facts- 99.99% Accurate
- Most Likely Test to Detect Toxic Black Mold
- Only One Test Required for an Entire Home
- Detects the Presence of a Single Spore of Mold
- Takes Just 5 Minutes to Collect the Sample
- Finds Molds Indicative of the Vast Majority of Mold Problems
- Far More Likely to Find a Real Problem Than Other Tests
- Quick Turnaround Time (24-48 hours)
- Shipping to Send in Sample Included
- Email Report That is Easy to Interpret
- Includes the Exact Number of Mold Spores
Best Uses If you want to test for Toxic Black Mold (Stachybotrys) and water damage molds, this is your test. If you want to test for mold with the highest accuracy available, but in a cost-efficient manner, this is your test. By only testing for the molds with the highest correlation to problem we can give you 99.99% accurate results at a fraction of the cost of a full DNA workup. Yes, the sample must be sent to the lab for analysis, but remember this: you will not get accurate and reliable results with any other home mold test kit. Laboratory analysis is the only way to determine the type of mold or identify a hidden problem. If you decide later that you need additional information, we'll apply the cost of this test to a full ERMI DNA analysis. Included in Kit
- Gloves
- Specialty Swab to Collect Sample
- Collection Bag
- Instructions for Sample Collection
- Pre-addressed Mailing Package to Send in Sample
- Information on Mold and Test Results
Why It's The Best
- Far more accurate - 99.99% versus 56% for the best alternative test
- Far more precise - detects down to a single spore of mold
- Far more likely to catch a problem - finds things other tests don't
- Professional analysis - accredited professionals with years of experience
- Only finds molds indicative of a problem - Toxic Black Mold and water damage molds
Sample CollectionTo test an entire home, use the swab to collect dust from the HVAC filter. To test a specific room or area, use the swab to collect dust from picture frames, moldings, desks, etc. Pricing$39.99 for a limited time (Regularly $49.99)

The cost effective in-depth mold test. The American Relative Moldiness Index (ARMI) is a Quantitative, Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (QPCR) panel of testing for indoor molds that was developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA). This panel includes 13 mold species, including species that are known to thrive in water damaged homes and species of molds that are found in all homes, with or without water damage. Each species and group of species is enumerated from DNA extracted from dust samples taken from both the living and sleeping quarters of the home. Concentrations of each of the 13 molds are used to derive an “ARMI score” that rates the moldiness of each sample against those tested by the US-EPA. These values range from approximately –10 (low moldiness) to 20 (high moldiness).
Best Uses ARMI is a more cost-effective version of the ERMI test, using 13 mold species instead of 36. It has about an 80% correlation with ERMI. ARMI is ideal for buildings that need more comprehensive mold information than the standard test, but do not have legal or health concerns. It is used in homes, offices, schools, and other buildings, public and private. Key ARMI Facts- 99.99% Accurate
- Species Identification of 13 Mold Species
- Detects the Presence of a Single Spore
- Requires No Outdoor Control Sample
- Results Are Comparable to National Averages
- Requires Only 1 Sample Per Building
- Rapidly Differentiates Between Aspergillus and Penicillium
- Most Likely Test to Find Hidden Issues
- Provides Historical Perspective Other Tests Cannot
- Results are Extremely Easy to Understand
Included Species- Aspergillus niger / awamori / foetidus / phoenicis
- Aspergillus ochraceus / ostianus
- Aspergillus penicilloides
- Aspergillus restrictus / caesillus / conicus
- Aspergillus sydowii
