GOLD ENVIRONMENTAL PACKAGE

The Gold Environmental Package is our most comprehensive dust analysis bundle, designed to provide a broad biological profile of your indoor environment from a single dust sample.

This package combines:

• ERMI Ultra (NGS-based fungal analysis)
• Actinomycetes (filamentous bacteria) analysis
• Endotoxin (Gram-negative bacteria) analysis

It is particularly suitable where mould may not be the only concern, where symptoms persist despite remediation, or where a more complete environmental investigation is required.

This package analyses your dust sample for a broad biological profile of the indoor environment.

It includes:

✔ Broad fungal profile using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Detects a wide range of mould species present within your indoor dust sample.

✔ The 36 mould species used in the ERMI model
Including a free HERTSMI-2 score.

✔ Actinomycetes (filamentous bacteria)
Often associated with damp or water-damaged buildings and musty or earthy odours.

✔ Endotoxins (from Gram-negative bacteria)
Bacterial cell wall components that may contribute to inflammatory responses in indoor environments.

Together, these analyses provide a comprehensive overview of the biological burden present in settled dust.

For more detailed technical information about each component, please refer to the individual test pages for:

• ERMI Ultra
• Actinomycetes (Actino)
• Endotoxin Analysis

• Dust sampling kit (Swiffer cloth)
• Gloves
• Prepaid return label
• Clear step-by-step instructions & COC provided with your order confirmation
• Express courier transit to the lab
• Laboratory analysis for all three components
• Digital report emailed to you once analysis is complete
  

All analyses are carried out from the same dust sample.

• If purchased separately, the individual tests would total approximately £920 inc VAT.
• Gold Package pricing reflects preferential bundle pricing when ordered together.

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 it on to the necessary lab via FEDEX Express Delivery (1-3 business days).

Once your sample is with the lab, the turnaround time is 7 days.
