Microbiology
Fungi (Mold)
SLGI is accredited through AIHA-LAP, LLC 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.
