Cap 14 & 15 Molecular Mold KIT

$210.00$225.00

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.

Description

Why Go Molecular?

  • DNA Certified Results: targets mold DNA to provide species identification and quantified results with 99.99% accuracy.
  • Flexible Framework: for identifying the location and root cause of mold contamination.
  • Law: considered the gold standard by legal experts in mold litigation.
  • Storage: retest from archived samples.

What to expect in a Molecular Molt Kit
Sampling Instructions: easy to follow instructions accompany the video “How to use the BIG 2 testing kit” (appropriate for all molecular mold swab sampling). For the best results, sample dust accumulated within the last two weeks.

Sample Collection Materials: gloves and a Sterile Swab in a protective case.

Chain of Custody Form: return this form with your sample.

Project Notification: you will receive an email notification when your project arrives at the lab.

Detailed Report: once testing and analysis are complete, a report will be delivered to your email with analysis results.

3-day Turnaround Lab Time: results are reported within three business days upon sample arrival at the lab.

Report Consultation: call (866)547-1727 to set up a 15-minute consultation with a mold expert.
