Select this test for semi-quantitative results for Coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Data are reported as Most Probable Number, 95% upper limit, 95% lower limit. Consuming water with these bacteria can result is recurring gastro-intestinal illness, with symptoms such as stomach cramping 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.
-
Recommended for water quality testing in any home, building, or facility and for those served by a private well or spring. This panel addresses concerns related to natural water chemistry, nearby human activity, and plumbing infrastructure. Key Features:
- EPA-Approved Methods: Our water analysis follows EPA-approved methods, ensuring reliable results that meet most mortgage lender requirements, including FHA, VA, and USDA home loans.
- Comprehensive Testing: Detects a range of contaminants:
- Biological:Coliform, E. coli (presence/absence) Inorganic:Chloride, Nitrate, Nitrite, total Phosphate, Sulfate Metal: Arsenic, total Copper, total Iron, Lead, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium Properties: Color, Conductivity, Hardness, pH, Total Suspended Solids
- Mortgage Loan Compliance: Appropriate for those seeking FHA, VA, or USDA home loans. Always consult your mortgage lender about specific testing requirements prior to sampling. In some instances, a licensed third-party sample collector is required.
- Well Water Safety: Perfect for properties served by private or shared wells, especially if there is a septic tank nearby. Health Protection: Essential for households with young children or other vulnerable individuals, as well as those concerned about agricultural runoff.
- Filtration System Assessment: Evaluate the effectiveness of your water filtration system.

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.

Ensure the safety and quality of your water with our Basic Water Panel. This comprehensive test detects Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Lead, and the presence of Coliform and E. coli bacteria, making it an essential tool for anyone using a private or shared well, or financing a home purchase through a loan agency. Key Features:
- EPA-Approved Methods: Our water analysis follows EPA-approved methods, ensuring reliable results that meet most mortgage lender requirements, including FHA, VA, and USDA home loans.
- Comprehensive Testing: Detects a range of contaminants:
- Mortgage Loan Compliance: Ideal for those seeking FHA, VA, or USDA home loans. Always consult your mortgage lender about specific testing requirements prior to sampling. In some instances, a licensed third-party sample collector is required.
- Well Water Safety: Perfect for properties served by private or shared wells, especially if there is a septic tank nearby. The EPA recommends annual testing of well water for bacteria, nitrate and nitrite.
- Health Protection: Essential for households with young children or other vulnerable individuals, as well as those concerned about agricultural runoff.
- Filtration System Assessment: Evaluate the effectiveness of your water filtration system.

BIG 2 Molecular Mold KIT Our most affordable Molecular (DNA) Mold Analysis, the BIG 2 provides unparalleled insights about the mold concentration in a home. The BIG 2 is a complete screen for the common water intrusion molds that include Stachybotrys (commonly referred to as toxic Black Mold) and Penicillium/Aspergillus species. The BIG 2 can be configured to include other key indicator molds for indoor health and structural decay. Results from a BIG 2 analysis can be used to
- Screen up to eight locations with a single swab
- Detect surface mold growth
- Determine the severity of mold contamination
- Identify the concentration of allergenic and mycotoxin producing molds
- Aspergillus / Penicillium Genus identification. Known for colonizing water damaged environments. Mycotoxin producing molds with small allergenic spores.
- Stachybotrys chartarum Species identification. Commonly known as toxic “black mold,” it produces spores with potent mycotoxins that cause severe respiratory issues and memory issues1, degrades wallpaper and coverings, while off-gassing profuse noxious odors called MVOCs.
- Cladosporium Species identification. This common allergenic mold thrives around HVAC diffusers and drafty windows. It colonizes surfaces where hot humid air meets cold air and water condenses. A recommended addition when HVAC contamination is suspected.
- Chaetomium Species identification. Colonizes wet floors and baseboards. It prefers softwoods like pine, wallpaper and textiles. Often visible as tiny black spots under carpet on tack board and subfloors. Produces mycotoxins and mutagens. Recommended when evidence indicates long-term water intrusion, slow leaks, and infiltration from heavy rainfall events.
- Trichoderma Species identification. This mold colonizes water saturated wood and is a precursor to structural wood-rot. Recommended for persistent, long-term water intrusion scenarios.

The CAP test is derived from the names of the dominant indoor molds Cladosporium, Aureobasidium, Penicillium with species selection based on their prevalence of EPA identified water intrusion molds1. The CAP-14 and CAP-15 are top selling tests for health-related and mycotoxin mold issues. Originally developed by Dr. Joseph Sturgeon, the CAP tests are used for assessing mold exposure in a home. Assured Bio later improved this test by converting sample collection to a swab from the original air pump and filter method. Key Features:
- Comprehensive Mold Detection: species were selected for their allergenic and toxic properties.
- Species Specificity: detects and quantifies molds relevant for indoor exposures and compromised health.
- Dust Sampling: designed to analyze dust from any surface collected with a sterile swab.
