Mold Swab Testing

Mold: Swab Testing and Analysis. Swab testing technique is very useful for detecting active mold. Indeed, this type of test aims to use a fungal sponge (the swab) which will be “rubbed” on materials likely to be attacked by mold and, very quickly, the sample will be cultured in an environment conducive to its development. Thus, if the sample develops and reproduces, it means that active molds are still present. Conversely, if no development is observed, it is because the mold and mold spores are considered to be dead.

So if you have planned mold removal and mold remediation works, a swab testing for mold is the test that can certify without a doubt that the work has been carried out properly.

Swab Testing for Mold: Slower but Reliable

Swab testing for mold requires a culture in a Petri dish after taking the mold samples. Therefore, the incubation time can vary between 5 and 10 days. It is therefore a slightly less advantageous method if you are in a real estate transaction and the deadline is tight. In such cases, the Air Quality Testing for Mold can provide faster and more complete information.

However, if time is not a determining factor, an analysis of mold via a swab test is much more effective in identifying whether there may be proliferation over time.
