The kit and samples will then be mailed to a laboratory for analysis. Results will follow in 7 to 10 business days.

This option gives the opportunity to talk with an indoor air specialist about your test kit and results, find out information about potential allergens and ask common questions about indoor environments.

*Shipping box:
The designated area on the top of the box serves as a "Testing Platform".
A 2nd Day Air return shipping label affixed to the top of the box.
Do not discard this box! It will be used to return your samples and pump.
* Blue ExaminAir pump (inside box).

1 located in the "outside" slot and 3 others located in the slots marked "samples #2, #3, & #4".
* Laboratory analysis form.
* Micro5 quality repackaging label.

Cleaning Area: Before you begin air sampling you will need to identify four areas to do your testing:
(Sample #1) "Outdoor"
Samples collected outside serve as a baseline measurement for the quantity and type of local fungi present in the environment. The outside sample should be collected in an open area away from shrubs, trees, awnings, etc.
(Sample #2 & Sample #3) "Indoor" suspect problem areas.
The interior samples #2 & #3 should be collected in anticipated high exposure areas, such as rooms where there is a detectable musty odor or areas where symptoms are more prevalent (i.e., itchy/watery eyes, wheezing, coughing, etc.)
DO NOT do the tests in bathrooms or kitchens.
(Sample #4) "Indoor non-suspect area".
Sample #4 should be taken in an anticipated low exposure area, where fewer symptoms or smells are prevalent.
All samples should be taken in normal living conditions. Do not vacuum floors just prior to sampling. Do not stir up dust and debris. Allow HVAC to function as normal. Leave the area when testing is in progress. The ExaminAir is capable of detecting a wide range of airborne contaminants and will be adversely affected by abnormal activity.

For best results before conducting the test close all windows for 72 hours. The best place to do the indoor tests is to put one on each level of your house, preferably the livingroom, bedroom, and the basement. Air sampling should be done in a consecutive order with no more than one hour delay being taken between test.

Return Policy: Test kits are not returnable because once they are open, they can become contaminated. However, if there is a problem with the battery, pump, or the air cassettes we will replace them. You have one month from the time of delivery to document such a problem.
Warnings: Do not store or use this product in temperatures below 32 degrees F or above 100 degrees F.
