First, are 2 quick and easy to use test strips which will show either positive or negative results quickly (interpretation of results included in instructions). Second, is a Bio-Scan 400 tape to collect a sample of the mold in your home, which will then be sent to an AHIA accredited lab for more detailed laboratory analysis.
