Allergen Test Kits for Home and Office Expert:
Allergen Test Kits Includes Bio-Scan400 sample collection kit
The Allergen Test Kit (ATK) identifies and quantifies many causes of household allergens such as pollen, mold, fibers, dust mite (intact), insect biodetrites and skin cells. It only takes one person to implement the test and requires no special training.
Has allergic reactions such as asthma, headaches, coughing, eye irritation, sneezing, lethargy, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, dizziness, respiratory irritation, or tight chest and would like to find the cause
Is moving into a new home or apartment and needs to find out the indoor environmental conditions
Is a Homeowner, Real Estate Professional, Insurance Claim Adjuster, Industrial Hygienist, or HVAC Engineer
Wants a comprehensive allergen report that is compared to industry guidelines (expressed in micrograms per gram - ng)
Particles in the air which settle (or can potentially settle) on surfaces are called "dust." After settling, dust particles may become airborne when disturbed. The health effects of airborne dust particles depend on the size and type of particles. Some particles may contain heavy metals, toxic materials, or fibers. They may be carcinogenic, allergenic, or relatively harmless. Environmental factors such as space and ventilation can determine the size of the particle. Indoor allergens are important because they are the major cause of asthma and/or allergic reaction with sensitized people.
Remove plastic case containing Bio-Scan400 from enclosed envelope and open tamper resistant seal using scissors. (see Picture A below).
Remove the Bio-Scan400 from the plastic case.
Select an area of concern (ex: desk, wall, etc) for a Bio-Scan400 surface sample.
Hold the left side of the Bio-Scan400 and peel the white backing paper to expose the adhesive side of the red grid area (see Picture C below). Important: do not touch the adhesive side of the red grid.
Gently place the sticky side of the red grid against the surface you wish to test (see Picture D below).
Gently reseal the Bio-Scan400 back onto the white backing paper (see Picture E below).
Place the Bio-Scan500 sample back in the case and complete the Chain of Custody form, filling out all information. Be sure to record the sample location and the surface the sample was collected from.
Place Bio-Scan400 sample and Chain of Custody form in the envelope provided
Expect the lab report results mailed back to you from the Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory (EDL) in 3-5 business days. You may also make a special request to receive the lab report via fax as well. This report will help define the environmental conditions as they existed during your sampling.
Understanding the lab report:
All EDL microbiological reports are prepared with a glossary describing each organism at both the genus and specie level. If you have any trouble understanding the data in the report, you are given a toll-free number to contact a specialist who will help you understand your results for free. Your report includes guidelines you can use to see if you have a low, significant, or high amount of dust in your home, indicating the amount of risk of an allergic reaction.
Please note: The report furnishes information only and is not intended to be an interpretation of the results
