Assured-Bio - Model M-TRAP -Unique Air Sampling Cassette
The M-TRAP® is a unique air sampling cassette developed specifically for the rapid capture and analysis of airborne fungi, bacteria, and viruses using state-of-the-art DNA & RNA analysis. The cassette is designed to follow a color-coded system. The blue striped M-TRAP® are labeled to capture airborne fungi and bacteria. The red striped M-TRAP® is labeled to capture airborne viruses. M-TRAP® may be connected via 1/4” tubing commonly used with air sampling pumps that are currently on the market. It is also compatible with the Buck BioAire Pump and the Zefon Bio-Pump (an adapter is required for use of the Zefon Bio Pump).
Mold
The M-TRAP® embodies the next generation of capture technology for residential and occupational mold exposure assessment. It excels where spore traps and agar impactions fall short: spore capture efficiency and turnaround time. Different mold testing capabilities include:
- Aspergillosis Assessment
- Avian Pathogen Panel
- Big 2 Analysis
- Universal Fungi
- Pathogenic Fungus Panel
- Pathogenic Candida Panel
- Penicillium Assessment
- Species Identification of Airborne Molds (SIAM)
Bacteria
Assured Bio offers a wide range of bacterial testing, from a standard total bacteria screen (Universal Bacteria) to more specific tests like MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Legionella (causes Legionnaires’ Disease) through our primer specific PCR/DNA analysis.
Virus
The M-TRAP is one of the few air sampling cassettes with the ability to capture both the SARS-CoV-2 and the Influenza virus. Learn more on our COVID-19 environmental testing page.
