Gold – Complete Environmental Test Package

The most comprehensive environmental screening package available

The Gold Environmental Package combines our most advanced DNA mould analysis with actinomycete and endotoxin testing to provide the broadest assessment of your indoor environment.

Designed for individuals with chronic health concerns, complex water-damaged buildings or those wanting the highest level of environmental investigation, this package looks beyond mould alone to assess multiple biological contaminants that may be present in indoor dust.

The Gold Environmental Package investigates three important categories of indoor contaminants:

Mould DNA: Identifies and quantifies mould species commonly associated with water-damaged buildings using advanced DNA technology. Refer to the product ERMI Ultra for further details.

Actinomycetes: Detects multiple species of environmental actinomycetes that may colonise damp indoor environments. Refer to the product Actinomyctes for further details

Endotoxins: Measures bacterial endotoxin levels within settled household dust. This provides additional information about bacterial contamination that mould testing alone cannot identify. Refer to the product Endotoxins for further details

• Swiffer (for taking the dust sample)
• Ziplock bag
• Gloves
• Instructions and a Chain of Custody (available via your confirmation emails)
• Analysis for the ERMI Ultra, Actinomycetes and Endotoxins

The kit includes one Swiffer cloth. This counts as one test.

Do not cut the Swiffer — cutting it creates multiple samples, which would be charged as additional tests by the lab, and may delay sending your sample until you confirm whether you want to proceed with multiple tests.

For best accuracy, use one Swiffer per room, but we understand this isn’t always practical or necessary if your goal is simply to confirm whether there is a problem within the property. You can use a single Swiffer across multiple rooms, but please note that the result will only indicate whether one of those rooms has an issue — it will not show which one.

Prioritise rooms that:

• Have known or suspected water damage
• Cause worsening symptoms when occupied
• Are frequently used (e.g., bedrooms, living rooms)

If you’re unsure which rooms to test, consider starting with air sampling to identify higher-risk areas.

For best results, we recommend cleaning the property first and then collecting dust after 6–8 weeks of fresh accumulation.
However, this step is not essential and depends on your goals. If you want to check for historical contamination, need urgent results, or are investigating a specific event, testing existing dust can still be appropriate and informative.

On receipt of your sample, Mould Lab will send you sample via FEDEX Express Delivery.

Once with the lab, the turnaround is approx 1 week.
