DIRECTIONS ( petri dish setup)
1. Remove the petri dish
and lay it on a level surface with the lid side up.
DO NOT TOUCH the inside of the petri dish or expose it to outside
air until you are ready to use it.
2. Lift the lid of the
petri dish and pour the mold medium into the
dish bottom. Replace the lid and swirl gently until the bottom is
completely
covered. Allow to harden for exactly 1 hour on a level surface.
3. Determine which
sampling method you would like to use and proceed to that methods
directions.
Note: you may conduct only one testing
method per petri dish.
Method 1: Visual sampling
a. After you have completed the petri dish setup, locate the visual mold
or mildew growth.
b. Take the enclosed sterile swab and wipe the tip across the visual mold
growth. (The mold must adhere to the swab tip.)
c. Transport the mold from the visual growth to the petri dish. Lift the
lid of the petri dish and very gently wipe the mold sample from the tip of
the swab across the top surface of the medium on the Petri dish, allowing
the mold to adhere.
d. Once sampling is completed, replace the lid and proceed to the lab
results directions.
Method 2: HVAC air sampling
(duct tape or electrical tape is required)
a. After you have completed the petri dish
setup, locate the air vent which is the furthest away from the main HVAC
system.
b. Lift the lid of the petri dish and tape the open dish against the open
air vent. Close all of the remaining air vents that are on the system.
c. Turn the system fan on high for a ten (10) minute period, allowing the
forced air to hit the inside surface of the petri dish.
d. Once the ten (10) minute period is complete, remove the petri dish from
the air vent, replace the lid and proceed to the lab results directions.
Method 3: Settling plate air
sampling
a. After you have completed the petri dish
setup, carry the petri dish to the
room where you want to test and locate a steady surface.(Ex: table)
b. Lift the lid of the petri dish and leave it open to the environment for
a one (1) hour period.
c. Once the one(1) hour period is complete, replace the lid and proceed to
the lab results directions.
Note: One mold sample per kit. All
sampling methodologies are subject to the occurance of false negatives and
false positive results.
