concentration levels in a home.

Allergen Samples

Allergen Samples

While symptoms related to mold sensitivity are what we typically find, there are a variety of other allergens within living and working environments that may cause health issues too.

Dust Mites are the most common allergy and asthma trigger in U.S. households.

We most commonly rely on the Multiplex Array for Indoor Allergens (MARIA) analysis.

Tests for things like dust mites, pet dander, and cockroaches.
