Allergen Test Kit
Model: ASC | SKU: ed1012Price: $69.95, plus FREE Shipping
The "dust" in our homes is actually a mixture of many different allergens. It settles throughout the home and launches into the air when disturbed. It is these allergens that are the major cause of asthma and chronic allergies in many people. Before air quality issues in your home can be addressed, it is critical to know what problems exist and to what extent.
This consumer testing kit is an effective way to evaluate the indoor air quality in your home or office. This kit is simple to use and provides top-quality test results. Six common indoor pollutants are measured and evaluated.
Testing Procedure
The testing kit will be mailed to you complete with everything needed to complete the test. The Allergen Test uses a Bio-Scan 400 tape to collect the sample from your home. Step-by-step instructions included in the kit contain a detailed explanation of how to handle the collection tape and take the sample. Once sampling is complete, the collection tape is then placed in a protective plastic case and mailed to the Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory. A pre-addressed envelope is included in the kit. You can expect to receive results within 7 to 10 business days after the sample is received by the lab.
Expert Results
After the sample is received by the laboratory, it will be analyzed using the very highest quality equipment. A report of findings will then be generated and mailed back for you. These results will identify what pollutants were present in your sample, and at what concentration (cts/cm2). These pollutants will be identified at both the genus and specie level. In addition, the report will also contain recommended action based on the findings. A toll free number is provided by the lab for any questions you may have about your results.

Comments about Allergen Test Kits Allergen Test Kit:
Product was easy to use. However, the analysis results were difficult to interpret. They showed actual readings, but did not explain if the readings were good or bad. This is ok for scientist, but is a problem for the layman who wants to know if remedial action is needed to fix a problem.
Comments about Allergen Test Kits Allergen Test Kit:
I used this kit to test a bedroom, having little idea what to expect or how to take a sample. The kit was just like a clear plastic band-aid. The technician of the product was so kind to have called us for more details. The report in email was fast, but its language was a little too technical for us, but overall it helped us in ruling out some environmental factors, such as insects or molds.

The Allergen Test Kit uses a Bio-Scan sampling tape to collect a sample from your surface. Once your sample is tested, you'll receive a report detailing the concentration level of mold, pollen, dust mites (intact and not including dust mite residue), skin cells, fiberglass, and insect residue in counts per square centimeter. This test is likely a better choice if you're looking to detect or rule out multiple allergens in your home.
