The Micro5 IAQ sampling cassette was pioneered to evenly and quantitatively collect mold & fungal spores, fibers, dander, insect components and other airborne contaminants. Deposition of particles/spores onto the adhesive is uniform in all directions due to spore trap design. The Micro5 is designed to operate at a flow ratee of 5 liters per minute for durations ranging from one to 10 minutes. Compatible with traditional vacuum pumps, as well as most portable units. Connect to a vacuum source with either a ½” or ¼” converter or directly with ¼” tubing. -
The Allergenco-D air sampling cassette was developed for the sampling and collection of aeroallergens and bioaerosols for quantitative analysis of mold spores, pollen, skin fragments, insects, dusts, and other airborne particulates. It has a well-designed impaction trace and collects at a standard rate of 15 liters per minute for durations ranging from one to 20 minutes. Compatible with traditional vacuum pumps, as well as most portable units. Connect to a vacuum source with either a ½” or ¼” converter or directly with ¼” tubing.

The HYDRO-FOG® is a commercial grade, disinfectant fogging machine capable of utilizing all water-based, FDA–registered and approved-for-fogging cleaners. With its ultrasonic homogenizers, commonly referred to as “sonicators,” and toggle-enabled heating element, the HYDRO-FOG® provides tremendous versatility and potency. The use of a sonicator rather than the common atomizer gives the HYDRO-FOG® a competitive edge, creating particles of 5 microns or less in size. Compared to atomizer foggers which typically produce particles of around 20 microns in size, the use of sonicators drastically increases surface area coverage. When fogging chemicals, such as peroxide, the heating element plays its part by effectively “activating” the peroxide, increasing its potency. The HYDRO-FOG® can be used across the commercial, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare and residential sectors.

M-TRAP® is Assured Bio’s patented air sampling cassette for collecting airborne material for selected fungal and bacterial laboratory analyses.
Use a compatible standard air sampling pump for short-duration collection, or WhisperCare® for extended sampling.
Standard-pump collection: sample at 15 liters per minute for 10 minutes, for a total air volume of 150 liters.
Before sampling: confirm pump compatibility, collection requirements, and your requested laboratory analyses with Assured Bio. Pumps and laboratory analysis are ordered separately.
-
The Dust Collector is a molded plastic sampling cassette with an internal capture basket. It attaches to the wand of many standard vacuum cleaners to collect settled dust for laboratory analysis.
Suitable for ERMI dust collection when used according to the laboratory’s current sampling instructions. Confirm compatibility with your vacuum before ordering.
Collection device only. Laboratory analysis is ordered separately. Follow the requirements for your selected analysis before collecting a sample.

Quantification of Lead down to 3 parts per billion (ppb). In water, lead is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, and even low levels are considered dangerous to your health. Contamination comes from lead pipes and lead solder in plumbing infrastructure including service lines; changes in water chemistry can cause corrosion, leading to higher levels of lead being released into the water supply. EPA maximum contamination limit is zero; action is recommended for levels exceeding 15 ppb. Key Reasons to Test Drinking Water for Lead:
- Plumbing Infrastructure especially for homes built before 1986 and if pipes corrode.
- Health: lead a toxic and a carcinogen. Even low levels can cause developmental issues in developing babies and children, including cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, and reduced IQ. In adults, long-term exposure may result in kidney damage, high blood pressure, and other serious health conditions.
- Protect Vulnerable Populations. Testing is especially important in households with young children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers, as these groups are at a higher risk of lead poisoning and its long-term effects.
- Peace of Mind knowing your family is protected from the harmful effects of lead.

Quantification of Copper down to 0.1 parts per million (ppm). Copper can be found in drinking water due to corrosion of household plumbing systems, natural deposits, and industrial discharge. Copper exposure can cause gastrointestinal distress, liver or kidney damage. EPA maximum contamination limit is 1.3 (primary) and 1.0 ppm (secondary). Accreditation American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)-Environmental Microbiology Laboratory, ID#: 183867 Tennessee DEC Division of Water Resources, Certified Microbiology Laboratory (ID# 03147). The scope of accreditation includes total coliform and E. coli. Kit includes Instructions, Sampling Materials, and Laboratory Analysis 2-Day Lab Turnaround Time

Microscopy-Based Mold Analysis
MoldScan is Assured Bio’s in-house name for fungal direct examination. Collect a surface sample using a swab or tape lift for laboratory examination of mold spores and other fungal structures.Surface sample results describe the fungal structures observed and their relative abundance. Identification is based on visible characteristics and generally reports recognizable fungal types or groups rather than species-level identification.
Choose Your Collection Method
Swab sampling
- Wet, uneven, soft, or porous surfaces
- Areas difficult to reach with a tape lift
Tape-lift sampling
- Visible suspected mold growth
- Hard, flat, nonporous surfaces
Optional Add-On Analyses
Allergen Check: microscopic examination for the presence or absence of dander, pollen, and insect parts. This does not measure specific allergenic proteins.
Dust Characterization: assessment of dust components such as carbon, dander, natural fibers, starch, synthetic fibers, and wood.
Standard turnaround: 1 business day. The day your sample arrives at the laboratory is day zero.

Professional laboratory confirmation for the Healthful Home® 5-Minute Mold Test.
Submit up to three swab samples for in-lab analysis of Aspergillus/Penicillium and Stachybotrys (black mold). Results are delivered by email, with optional mailed copies and rush processing available. Pre-pay here to ensure immediate processing when your samples arrive at Assured Bio Labs. -
The Basic Bacteria Test detects Coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli), common bacteria that can pose significant health risks. The Presence/Absence test is an industry standard, as any detection of coliforms or E. coli bacteria in drinking water is considered a health hazard. Consuming water contaminated with these bacteria can lead to recurring gastrointestinal illness, with symptoms such as stomach cramps and diarrhea. Wells and springs can receive contaminants from surrounding land activities or septic systems, and biofilms can become established in plumbing, which is why the EPA recommends annual bacterial testing, as changing conditions can introduce new risks. This test is recommended if:
- You are served by a private well or spring
- This is your daily water source
- Small children, elderly adults, immunocompromised, pregnant, or nursing individuals consume the water.
- After flood events.
- You notice a musty, moldy, or mildew-like smell or taste in the water, or observe biofilm buildup or other microbial growth on faucets and fixtures.
