With the on-site analysis, you retain the chain of custody and avoid shipping costs and associated delays with laboratory analysis. With Mycometer®-surface, you can generate income while providing your client with rapid reliable results at a cost comparable to tape lift analysis.MYCOMETER is the leading developer of user friendly, robust and rapid, on-site microbiology methods for the IAQ Industry over the last 10 years. applicationsInitial diagnostic assessmentVisual contamination confirmationWood, grout and other building material contamination/remediation assessment Rapid remediation clearance testingPre/Post HVAC cleaning documentationFragile materials assessmentExpedite disaster response damage assessmentHealthcare ICRA documentationRoutine maintenance cleaning confirmation Rapid.

Determine the level of fungal contamination on surfaces and in bulk material samples in less than an hour. • Repeatable and reliable method. robust chemistry is the basis of the method which has been scientifically tested and field proven. • Easily interpreted. the robust chemistry provides defined cut off values for clean/not clean and for normal or contaminated levels. • Cost Effective. cost comparable to standard lab analysis of tapelift or spore trap samples.oNe INSTrUMeNT – MULTI PUrPoSeNo other test equipment on the market today allows you to detect fungal and bacterial contamination on-site in less than an hour. the unique versatility makes this equipment very cost efficient. By using Mycometer, the practitioner can make reliable, accurate diagnostics of the true microbial conditions in the field.
