DIY TEST · MOLD DNA DUST

HERTSMI-2 Plus

Laboratory: EnviroBiomics

$130.00

Are the five HERTSMI-2 molds in the base panel present in the submitted settled-dust sample, and at what measured levels?

This test measures mold DNA in collected household dust for the five-target HERTSMI-2 panel. Up to five optional additional laboratory targets may be selected when ordering and are reported separately; not all available targets are molds.

What does HERTSMI-2 Plus tell you?

The laboratory reports the five HERTSMI-2 mold-DNA targets in dust and any additional selected laboratory targets separately.

The report identifies and quantifies the selected mold-DNA targets found in the submitted dust. Any reported score belongs to its named panel and must not be treated as an independent home-safety determination.

What should you do with the results?

You already know of a building concern

Visible mold or known moisture damage calls for a building investigation and correction of the condition; a dust result is not needed to justify that step.

A reported target or measurement

Review the five-mold score and any selected additional species separately with the building history. Neither a high nor a low score is a standalone safety decision.

A target is not detected or a value is lower

Read the target, unit, method, sample, and any laboratory qualifier. A non-detect or lower value is limited to the submitted sample; it does not establish the condition of unsampled areas or create whole-property clearance.

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.

How does this compare with related tests?

Choose this option when you want the five HERTSMI-2 targets plus up to five separately selected additional laboratory targets.

Accumulated dust cannot establish whether mold is actively growing today or what is currently in room air. Current building conditions call for an appropriate moisture and building investigation.

Product Details

What's included

The selected laboratory analysis and report for the submitted sample. Confirm the collection and turnaround choices in the order form.

Targets or materials measured

The five HERTSMI-2 mold species.

How to collect the sample

For the Swiffer Kit, collect dust from suitable hard surfaces with the supplied material. For the Vacuum Kit, collect dust with the laboratory-approved vacuum method. Follow the instructions for the exact kit selected; do not mix methods.

Understanding laboratory results

The HERTSMI-2 score uses its own five-mold framework and is not an ERMI score. A high score alone does not establish that a home is unsafe; a low score alone does not establish that a home is safe or free of moisture and mold problems. It cannot establish active growth, current airborne exposure, personal dose, or remediation clearance.

Important limitations

The result represents the submitted sample and selected targets. It does not by itself establish current airborne exposure, personal dose, medical causation, whole-property safety, or remediation clearance.

Shipping and return

Outbound kit shipping is calculated separately at checkout when ordering is available. Follow the instructions supplied for the selected kit to return the sample.
