Microbial Analysis And Testing Services
|
|
| Bacterial Analysis |
We offer a full menu of viable bacteria (HAI pathogens, MRSA, Mycobacterium and environmental
bacteria) and viable fungi (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys and environmental fungi).
In addition to viable analysis we also offer a full range of non-viable testing (spore traps, tapes and
surface directs and bulk directs) with a variety of TAT. We are CDC Elite certified for Legionella analysis
and in addition, we also perform Sewage Screens, HPC and E.coli P/A on drinking water and non-potable
water sources. Our Virginia and Denver lab are NVLAP accredited for bulk PLM asbestos containing
material.

| Non Culturable Analysis |
Non-culturable analyses are done by direct microscopic examination of air swabs, tapes or bulk material. This allows for complete characterization of the fungal spores, fruiting structures, hyphal elements and other fungal fragments in addition to pollen grains, elevated levels of bacteria, and identification of select non-biological materials. This total fungal characterization allows identification of fungi that may be both viable upon culture and those that would not be viable upon culture. The advantages of direct reads are that it can be performed quickly, it is useful as a general screening tool and as an assessment tool for post-verification. |
| Allergens |
Aerobiology Laboratory offers environmental allergen analysis services which covers dust mites, cat and dog allergens,
cockroach, urinary mouse and rat proteins and molds. We can also test for pollen concentrations, and elevated levels of
other non-biological components of air that may illicit an allergenic response such as feathers, fiberglass, mineral wool and
other building material products. |
| Miscellaneous Testing |
Aerobiology laboratory offers a wide range of miscellaneous analyses ranging from thermophilic
actinomycete cultures, Mycobacterium cultures, sulfate reducing bacteria, nitrifying bacteria, ATP
testing and more. Please contact laboratory to discuss methods not listed under specific categories to
support your investigation. The list below includes a representation, not a complete list of capabilities. |
| PLM Asbestos Testing |
Aerobiology Laboratory offers testing for asbestos containing materials at our Virginia and Colorado
locations. Both labs are accredited by NVLAP for PLM analysis (EPA 600/R-93/116) on building
materials, soil, microvac samples, vermiculite and tape and Point Count (EPA 400/1000). We offer
2 hour TAT, same day, 24 hours and routine TAT. The Denver location is open on Saturday. Contact
laboratory for rush TAT samples and volume discount. |

Materials required for biological sampling are provided at no charge. Please contact one of our laboratories for culture media, sterile specimen containers, swabs, slides for non-viables, double-sided tape and chain of custody forms.
Please specify the type of sampling instrument required (AeroTrap, Andersen, SAS, Burkard, Allergenco, Bio-Culture, etc.). Supplies are shipped for second day delivery. One day service can be arranged at client expense. Andersen N-6 impactors and spore trap samplers are also available for rent:
Rental Equipment: call lab (877-648-9150) for more details and availability.
