Collecting an ERMI Dust Sample for Mold Analysis

Mold in the home can cause health problems and damage to your property. Detecting mold early helps you take action before it becomes a bigger issue. One reliable way to assess mold presence is by collecting a dust sample for ERMI QPCR analysis. This method uses DNA-based testing to identify mold species in dust, giving you average exposure.

Sampling Guidance

Where you collect dust matters. Mold spores are not evenly distributed throughout a home. Mold has different shapes and densities so it’s important to sample from different heights. Focus on areas where dust accumulates:

Inhibition: What It Is and Why It Matters

Inhibition occurs when substances interfere with the PCR (qPCR) process used in ERMI testing to detect and quantify mold DNA. These inhibitors can prevent proper amplification, leading to false negatives or unreliable results.

Testimonials

What my clients have said about working with me.

Jennifer N:

Nel was very helpful over the phone, guiding us through some decisions with remediating our home from mold. She’s very kind and a good listener. She’s also a very critical thinker and able to ask a lot of good questions, helping us think through some complicated issues. She is able to also give us a different perspective than what we were told regarding our home by my daughter’s functional doctor. I would highly recommend her wise counsel.

Ginger M:

Nel helped me to identify specific areas of the home that were problematic for my health. She has a unique blend of skills that are at once knowledge and science based as well as a keen intuitive perception that synergistically help her to identify specific exposures and issues within the home environment that might otherwise be missed or neglected. Nel focussed on issues of water damage, multiple types of microbial intrusion (both mold and bacterial contamination), chemical VOCS and overall air quality. Her approach was detailed, perceptive and informed. I feel that she truly cares about helping her clients to have the healthiest home environment possible, advocating for practical and simple solutions where possible and supporting good decision making when more costly remediations may be necessary.

Brittnee K:

When it comes to having a chronic illness, empathy is so important when you work with any professional. Nel has always shown genuine care for me and even chooses to check in on me out of her own time. She brings a sense of calm when everything can feel chaotic and she has always been up to date on the latest findings and studies for my specific situation. I highly recommend her as an environmental professional!
