Could selected mycotoxins be present in the air you breathe in this room?

AMEA measures selected mycotoxins collected from room air to help identify potential inhalation exposure at the sampled location and time. It does not measure an individual’s absorbed dose or establish a medical diagnosis.

Choose your test options

Each air sample tests one location.

Standard panel — included

  • Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2
  • Ochratoxin A
  • Trichothecenes T-2 and HT-2

Optional additional panel

Add DON (deoxynivalenol), zearalenone and fumonisins.

The additional panel applies to each selected sample. Its charge below updates for the selected sample count.

Sampling equipment is loaned, not purchased, and must be returned within 30 calendar days of the order date.

Evaluating potential mycotoxin exposure inside your home

Mycotoxins can enter the body through contaminated food, inhalation, or skin contact. When evaluating potential mycotoxin exposure inside a home, consider what may be present in the air you breathe. AMEA measures selected mycotoxins collected from room air to help identify potential inhalation exposure at the sampled location and time.

Environmental air sampling does not measure an individual’s absorbed dose, establish a medical diagnosis, or show that inhalation accounts for most of a person’s total mycotoxin exposure.

Choose the sample type that matches your question

AMEA air sample

Were selected mycotoxins detected in collected room air, helping evaluate potential inhalation exposure during sampling?

Dust mycotoxin panel, including EMMA where applicable

Which tested mycotoxins were detected in the collected dust or material?

MESA surface sample

Were selected mycotoxins detected on the particular surface or material sampled?

ERMI / HERTSMI-2

Which specified mold DNA targets were measured in dust? These tests do not measure mycotoxins.

More mycotoxin targets does not mean the test measures potential inhalation exposure. A dust panel measures the collected dust; it does not directly measure what is suspended in room air or what a person inhales. Choose the sample type that matches your question, then compare the targets included.

Dust can provide useful information about a reservoir of contamination, including material that might become airborne. A positive dust result alone does not establish current inhalation exposure. Air, dust, surface, and building investigations can answer complementary questions; AMEA is not a universal replacement for any of them. Product availability is governed separately, and this comparison does not enable a held offering.

Is Mycotoxin Air Test Kit the right test for your question?

Good fit when…

  • You want to investigate potential inhalation exposure to selected mycotoxins in an occupied room.
  • A dust test detected mycotoxins, and you now want separate information about room air.
  • You want to compare consistently collected air samples from different locations or conditions.

Not the right fit when…

  • You need to identify the physical source.
  • You need to establish whole-property conditions.
  • You need conclusions about personal dose, health effects or causation, property safety, or clearance.

What the result can tell you

These findings document potential exposure to the detected mycotoxins in the tested rooms at the time the air samples were collected.

What the result cannot establish

  • Conditions outside the sampled location or sampled time.
  • The physical source or whole-property conditions.
  • Personal dose, health effects or causation, property safety, or clearance.

What should you consider when the result arrives?

Selected mycotoxins are detected

These findings document potential exposure to the detected mycotoxins in the tested rooms at the time the air samples were collected. Consider the sampled location, collection period, building observations, and whether source investigation or another location-specific sample would answer the next question.

Selected mycotoxins are not detected

The named targets were not detected under the laboratory method for that room-air sample. This does not establish that other rooms, other times, unsampled mycotoxins, mold sources, or building conditions are absent.

You already know of a building concern

Visible growth, moisture damage, or an unresolved odor calls for direct building investigation. Choose additional sampling locations or the additional panel only when they answer a defined question; more samples or analytes are not automatically better.

The sample is invalid or insufficient

An invalid or insufficient sample is not a non-detect. Follow the laboratory’s support and recollection instructions before drawing a conclusion.

Product Details

What comes in the base kit
  • One 60-minute room-air sample with standard-panel laboratory analysis and temporary use of the collection equipment. Shipping is calculated separately at checkout. Choose from available UPS shipping services.
  • Pre-calibrated sampling pump, tubing, tripod and Myco-cassette sampling assembly.
  • Carrying case, nitrile gloves, and collection/return materials.
  • Step-by-step instructions and a video guide for setting up and returning your sample.
  • Laboratory report, typically available 3–5 business days after the laboratory receives the sample.
  • Equipment is loaned for collection and must be returned. Its use is included in the kit purchase, but ownership is not transferred.
How to collect and return your air sample
  • Receive and review your kit. Read the enclosed preparation instructions and watch the setup guidance before sampling.
  • Choose a specific room. Each sample represents one location, never a combined sample from multiple rooms.
  • Prepare and set up. Follow the laboratory’s room preparation and pump setup instructions; position the sampler as directed for breathing-zone collection.
  • Collect for 60 minutes. Use the supplied pump and sampling assembly for each selected location.
  • Pack and return. Follow the supplied instructions for cassettes and equipment. Confirm the current return-label arrangement before ordering.
  • Follow the supplied laboratory protocol for preparation, equipment operation and return. This summary does not replace the instructions.
Standard and optional mycotoxin panels
  • Standard panel, included: Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), ochratoxin A, and trichothecenes T-2/HT-2.
  • Optional additional panel: Deoxynivalenol (DON/vomitoxin), zearalenone, and fumonisins. The option expands the mycotoxin groups analyzed and applies to every sample selected.
  • More testing is not automatically better. If you are unsure whether an additional panel would answer your environmental question, ask MEL about the choice.
What your laboratory report means
  • The laboratory report identifies the selected mycotoxins detected or not detected in each collected air sample and presents the laboratory’s reported results.
  • When mycotoxins are detected, findings document potential exposure to the detected mycotoxins in the tested rooms at the time the air samples were collected. A non-detect means the tested analyte was not detected at or above the laboratory’s applicable reporting limit in that sample.
  • Neither finding establishes personal inhaled dose, a medical diagnosis, the source of a mycotoxin, conditions in other rooms, or whole-home safety.
  • On qualifying purchases, homeowners may opt in at checkout for a complimentary professional written Results Review. A separate live consultation is not included.
Equipment return, sample submission, and policies
  • Return the loaned sampling equipment within 30 calendar days from the order date. Fees may apply to late, missing, or damaged equipment.
  • A separate 90-day laboratory sample submission limit does not extend the 30-day equipment-loan period. Always follow the current instructions and terms supplied with the kit.
Important environmental and medical limitations
  • AMEA is an environmental measurement of selected mycotoxins in sampled room air, not a mold-species identification test, a source investigation, a personal exposure-dose assessment, or a medical test.
  • Consult an independent indoor environmental professional for building investigations and an appropriate health professional about medical concerns.

Frequently asked questions

How can mycotoxins enter the body, and what does AMEA evaluate?

Possible exposure routes include ingestion, including contaminated food, inhalation, and skin contact. AMEA evaluates selected mycotoxins collected from room air to help identify potential inhalation exposure at the sampled location and time. It does not measure absorbed dose or establish a medical diagnosis.

Does a longer dust-panel target list answer the same question as AMEA?

No. More mycotoxin targets does not mean a test measures potential inhalation exposure. A dust panel measures the collected dust, while AMEA measures selected mycotoxins collected from room air during sampling. Dust can describe a contamination reservoir, including material that might become airborne, but a positive dust result alone does not establish current inhalation exposure.
