Mycometer analysis
Mycometer testing quantifies mould activity by measuring enzyme activity present in spores and hyphae.
When to use it
Mycometer analysis is used where you need a quantified measure of mould activity on a surface or in a bulk sample, rather than a simple presence-or-absence result, useful for comparing conditions before and after remediation, or as a more sensitive check than a visual inspection alone.
How sampling works
A swab or bulk sample is taken from the area being tested and analysed in our laboratory, measuring the enzyme activity associated with active mould spores and hyphae.
What’s in the report
Results are reported as a quantified activity level. This allows findings to be compared against a reference sample or a previous result from the same location.
