BIG 2 Molecular Mold KIT

$70.00 – $100.00

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

Mold Information:

  • 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.
