Mould Contamination Test. Order Online.
$45.00 – $90.00
You are purchasing a laboratory analysis—not a DIY kit. You will need to collect mould samples from various rooms in your home and either deliver or ship them to our laboratory at:
LCS Laboratory Inc., 700 Collip Circle, Unit 218, London, Ontario, N6G 4X8, Canada.
This laboratory test measures the concentration of mould spores on the surface of your sample.
During the analysis, we collect mould spores and hyphae from the sample surface and stain them with lactophenol blue. We identify 12 common types of mould and measure their concentration on the surface. The results can be used to assess water damage or identify potential sources of allergies.
The fee includes laboratory analysis and a formal report, which will be sent to you by email.
To proceed with your order, please select the number of samples you wish to test and choose your preferred turnaround time.
Be sure to review the Shipping Instructions tab for sample preparation and mailing details.

Cut a small piece of mold stained paint, wood, paper, plastic, or plaster, and place it in a Ziploc bag. You need only 1/4 square inch of material, which is about the size of a coin. It does not have to be exact amount, but we need a piece with some flat area to work with. Label the bag with a permanent marker: “Ceiling paint from kids’ bedroom”, or “Yellow flooring from kitchen”. If you want to test more than one sample, each sample should be placed in a separate bag. Please take as many samples as you need, but please label each bag.
