Microbiology

Fungi (Mold)

SLGI is accredited through AIHA LAP, LLC LAP-100527 EMLAP for the analysis of mold in air, tape, bulk and swab samples. The analysis includes identification of the spores present and a general evaluation of background debris.

Microscopic Direct Examination aids in the determination of whether the spores present – such as Stachybotrys (Black Mold) – are indicative of mold growth or simply originating from the exterior.

Bacteria (E-Coli and Total Coliform) SM 9223

SLGI also has NELAP accreditation through the state of Virginia for the analysis of bacteria (E-coli and Total coliform) in water. SLGI can analyze for the presence or absence of these bacteria and can also quantitate (MPN) the amount of the bacteria present.
