What makes MoldScanPlus™ different?
MoldScan + TVOCs
This is pati’s most cost-effective screening tool for home use or for offices where the presence of mold is the primary concern. In addition to determining the level of mold contamination, Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) are also reported. If the TVOC level is low, you have all the data you need. If the TVOC level is high, a full, 350+ compound Air Scan analysis can be requested for an additional charge. There is no need to take another sample and, since you know the TVOC level, you know ahead of time that your Air Scan results will be useful. The added assurance that valuable information will be available if the additional Air Scan analysis is requested gives you the confidence that you are doing the best job possible for your client.
Mold ScanPlus™ detects, identifies, and measures Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOCs), produced by active mold growth without visual contact, destructive testing, or microbial sampling.
Unlike mold spores, MVOCs produced by microbial metabolism diffuse through materials and barriers that normally retard the dispersion of mold spores. The presence of MVOCs indicates active mold growth. Mold ScanPlus™ detects twenty-one different MVOCs resulting from mold growth. Ongoing research by pati continues to add to its scientific knowledge database.
Mold ScanPlus™ is firmly established as a rapid detector of hidden, active mold contamination. Mold ScanPlus™ is being used to augment and, in some cases, in place of variable air sampling for cultured mold fungi.
Mold ScanPlus™ is drawing rave reviews from its professional clients. Industrial Hygienists, Health & Safety specialists, and ASHRAE Engineers looking for rapid detection of mold in buildings also appreciate the close and interactive information exchange with pati's scientists.
Other laboratories have tried to duplicate Mold ScanPlus™ but they have been unable to match the sensitivity, compound selection, accuracy, and interpretation available only with Mold ScanPlus™ from Prism Analytical Technologies.
