Want Your Test Plates Analyzed?
If you would like to send your plates in for analysis, we have partnered with IMS Laboratory (Official Laboratory for the National Association of Mold Professionals), a fully accredited, full-service microbiology lab, to offer additional testing services. Please see the link below for more information on lab testing and to download and print the forms and instructions for those services. We advise to ONLY send in the test plates that grow out mold as lab analysis is an additional fee and is charged per plate.

Contains:
6 MALT EXTRACT AGAR WITH 0.01% CHLORAMPHENICOL PLATES.
Intended Use:
Malt Extract Agar is used for the isolation, cultivation and enumeration of yeasts and molds. This is a self-development test and does not come with a laboratory analysis. Each plate has expiration date printed on bottom of each plate.
Package Type:
Single Product
DIRECTIONS: (Note: Detailed instructions and a results key are included with each kit.)
For Air Testing: Enter room or area that you wish to test. Remove test plate from clear plastic sleeve. Take lid off test plate and place open plate on a flat surface away from walls and windows. Place lid open side down next to the test plate. Go about your activities as normal. After 1 hour, place lid back on top of test plate. Seal plate closed with tape. Wrap sealed plate in aluminum foil. Label wrapped plate with name of room or space tested and date. Place wrapped and labelled plate in a drawer or cabinet. When 5 days have elapsed since the date of testing, remove the aluminum foil to reveal results. DO NOT unseal or open test plate. Use the KEY included with the test kit to determine your results. If further diagnostics testing is needed, use one of the Environmental Mycotoxin Tests. Dispose of used test plates in outside trash receptacle.
To Test Specific Items: Remove test plate from clear sleeve. Remove lid from test plate and set aside. Gently tap the item you wish to test with the plate 1-2 times. Make sure that the agar material is exposed to the item being tested when tapping. The puffs of air created from the tapping motion will cause any mold spores embedded in the item to attach to the agar material. Place lid back on test plate. Seal plate closed with tape. Wrap sealed plate in aluminum foil. Label wrapped plate with name of object tested and date. Place wrapped and labelled plate in a drawer or cabinet. When 5 days have elapsed since the date of testing, remove the aluminum foil to reveal results. DO NOT unseal or open test plate. Use the KEY included with the test kit to determine your results.
Note: Each plate has an expiration date. Use before expiration date. As plates age, water will begin to condense onto the top of plate and may pool inside the plate. When you are ready to perform test, drain excess water from the plate first. Since the plates do expire, we do not accept returns for refunds.

Helped Us Out Alot
Endless fascination watching what grows in my samples. This is the second or third pack of 6 that I have ordered. It helped me get rid of a toxic mattress and show evidence to my housemates that there was a lottttttt happening in our hkme despite my awesome air cleaners. It led us to discover someone had left wet towels behind the air return in our home and tgat mold growth was being distributed throughout our hvac into my bedroom. So thankful for the way these tests helped our hunt and for the way that I can see that my efforts to throw out bad items and clean up are reducing the amount of colonies in the home. Now that I have just a few colonies left, I am going to take the next step to send off a plate for further analyzation and specificity of what types of mold we are dealing with.

decent for a visual reference
Great for what it is - a visual indicator. I had one test grow many mold spots for one room and then another test show no spots for my truck interior. I bet my ec3 spray got my truck to a zero spot state. I see I can send these tests that do have mold spots growing in them to a partner company for more info if I want to for $40.

Mold testing kit
The test kits are a great way to determine if an item is safe or not after remediation. I thought my chairs were safe. I had them professionally cleaned. We decided to test them anyway and it revealed that they were not mold free at all with more than 6 colonies growing on the plate. We have used these to test clothing, furniture, rooms, backpacks. You name it…. It’s in expensive and helpful in deciding next steps with our stuff we are trying to keep. It’s been a long road to healing. I’m thankful for your products that have helped us!

Easy to Use & Effective
These test plates are super easy to use and tell you exactly where the problem is. I suspected an issue, but it wasn’t until testing that I was able to confirm I have extremely high levels of mold in the house! I appreciated the pamphlet as it gives you a guide on how serious your mold problem is. I would highly recommend this product if you’re looking for WHERE your mold problem may be.

Easy to Use, Good Price, Informative
This test was easy to use and gave us results within 5 days. This test is a great first step to identifying if you have a toxic mold problem and what areas of the home/what objects are affected by it. I love that it comes with a pamphlet with step by step instructions, as well as additional info on toxic mold, and what your next steps are based on the results you get. I definitely recommend this product if you suspect you have a mold issue in your home. I love the information this website provides on mold as well.

mold testing plates
I wanted to see if I had mold in my car and house since I am detoxing from mold and it was treated 3 years ago. this gave my peace of mind.

Very Helpful When Used Correctly
First, I want to say that these plates are easy to use and affordable. Second, these plates do not pose to be the end-all, be-all of testing. I really wish that these mold consultants would stop trying to steer people away from using them, because, when used correctly, they ARE EXTREMELY helpful. If you want to use plates, you are looking to see IF you have an active mold source and WHERE it is. You are not trying to use them to set up comprehensive remediation, but to monitor mold levels or as a basic litmus test. For that, they are wonderful and helpful. If you want to then send them to the lab, you can--but YOU decide and are not then contacted for remediation advice, because the lab is totally separate from Micro Balance--which I love and respect. Bottom line? Buy them, they are worth it!

Gave me some confidence
I tested several rooms and a mattress. All turned out fine with nothing showing but the mattress. It showed some mold but not enough to be concerned. I moved it in and we are doing okay. I like the fact that there is a test for a decent price that can be done preliminarily.
