Home Test
A dust test for the environment side of the question

Shipped dust collection kit
Results
Typically 1-2 weeks after the lab receives the sample
Availability
Available in all 50 U.S. states in the current catalog.
Best fit
Use this test when it can answer the right question.
MoldCo keeps the test lane explicit so a home question, body question, and susceptibility question do not get collapsed into one claim.
People whose symptoms seem tied to a place.
Renters, owners, or families deciding whether the home needs deeper inspection.
Patients who need environmental context before or during care.
What it measures
- HERTSMI-2 settled-dust testing.
- Aspergillus penicillioides, Aspergillus versicolor, Chaetomium globosum, Stachybotrys chartarum, and Wallemia sebi.
- Environmental risk context, not a personal diagnosis.
What it cannot prove
- Finding every possible mold species.
- Replacing source control when visible mold or water damage is obvious.
- Diagnosing mold-related illness in a person.
How it works
From order to interpretation
Order the kit and receive it at home.
Collect settled dust using the kit instructions.
Mail the sample back to the lab.
Use the result to decide whether inspection, remediation, or care context is needed.
Before you order
These answers keep the clinical boundary clear: useful context, not a standalone diagnosis.
Is this an ERMI test?
This launch page describes the HERTSMI-2 home dust test currently reflected in MoldCo's product catalog. If the product changes, this page should be updated before cutover.
If I see mold, should I test first?
Not always. Visible mold, recurring moisture, or clear water damage may already justify source control or professional inspection. Testing is most useful when it changes a decision.
Not sure this is the right next step?
Take the Mold Risk Score first, or start care and let a provider help decide whether testing is useful.
