Live Fungal Air Testing for Allergies & Asthma Triggers
requires viable spore trapping and culture. I use Low Ph Aspergillus/Penicillium
and Stachybotrys/Yeast Easygel ® recovery media and Florida
Institute of Mold spore traping methods including imapctor to
capture large volume air samples and forced settling to capture
multiple area air samples. Prior to the identification the samples
are cultivated using optium recovery methods to grow as many
of the captured molds and yeast as possible. The optium recovery
methods results are then identified by Biolog for identification
to the species level.
