AMEA Testing or air testing mycotoxins a holistic service that places a primary focus on the identification of mycotoxins in indoor air. Mycotoxins represent secondary compounds synthesised by moulds and have the potential to pollute a range of surfaces, including construction materials, furnishings, and even the surrounding atmosphere.
Exposure to these mycotoxins can lead to a wide range of health problems, ranging from allergies and respiratory issues to more severe and debilitating conditions.
Our AMEA Testing service is built on a foundation of meticulous attention to detail, comprising the following fundamental components:
AMEA Sampling Equipment: Our service leverages a combination of industry-standard equipment and media, including the IOM sampler, the Buck Libra pump, and the Myco-Cassette. These specialised tools are strategically employed to collect air samples intended for AMEA testing.
The sampling process is executed at the breathing zone, approximately 5 feet above the ground. This careful positioning closely mirrors normal inhalation patterns, ensuring that the samples collected accurately represent the air you and your family breathe daily.
AMEA Analysis and Report: The core of our service lies in the comprehensive AMEA analysis and reporting process. We employ a patented extraction method with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) testing to discern and quantify the mycotoxin level present in the air samples. This is then sent to the only mycotesting lab in Australia and will be returned to us within 7 to 14 days.
The results are meticulously reported in parts per billion (ppb) per cubic metre, offering a precise measurement of mycotoxin concentration. Furthermore, these results are meticulously compared against well-established background levels for indoor airborne mycotoxins. Our report categorises the exposure risk into colour-coded categories, interpreting findings straightforwardly, with results indicating low, medium, or high exposure risk.
Professional AMEA Providers: The AMEA Testing service is executed by our qualified professionals who have completed fundamental certification training in mycotoxin detection. Our team are deeply committed to ensuring that your indoor environment is not only safe but also healthy. Our services are designed to be as accessible as possible.
