What sample types does the ImmunoLytics mold kit support?

The ImmunoLytics mold kit supports three sample types: Gravity Plates for collecting airborne mold spores from room air, Swiffer cloth samples for the Dust History test that reveals historical mold accumulation over time, and sterile swabs for testing visible mold growth on surfaces. Each sample type targets a different kind of mold exposure and can be used individually or together for a complete picture of your home’s mold levels.

How do I collect an air sample using a Gravity Plate?

To collect an air sample, place the open Gravity Plate on a flat surface in the room you want to test, open-side up. Leave it undisturbed for one hour, then close the lid securely. Label the plate with the room name and date, then seal and ship it back to the ImmunoLytics laboratory using the included prepaid envelope.

How do I collect a Swiffer Dust History sample?

To collect a Dust History sample, use a Swiffer sweeping cloth to sweep one or more floors or surfaces in your home for a few minutes, collecting accumulated dust. Place the used Swiffer cloth in the provided collection bag, seal it, and mail it to the lab. Unlike an air test, which captures mold at a single moment in time, the Dust History test reveals which mold species have been present in your home over weeks or months.

How do I collect a swab sample for visible mold?

To collect a swab sample, rub the sterile swab firmly across the area of visible mold growth or discoloration, covering up to 4”×4” area. Place the swab back in its protective tube, seal it, and mail it to the lab using the included prepaid shipping label. Swab testing is designed specifically for surfaces where you can already see mold — such as walls, ceilings, grout, window sills, or around water damage.

Which test type should I use — Gravity Plate, Swiffer dust, or swab?

Use Gravity Plates to assess the general mold levels in a room’s air — ideal for identifying hidden or elevated mold when nothing is visibly wrong. Use the Swiffer Dust History test to understand long-term mold exposure history, especially when mold levels may fluctuate with seasons or ventilation. Use swab testing when you can already see mold growth on a surface and want to identify exactly which species are present. For the most comprehensive assessment, the ImmunoLytics kit supports all three methods.

How long does it take to receive mold test results?

Standard results are typically delivered within 5 to 7 business days after the ImmunoLytics laboratory receives your samples — whether Gravity Plates, Swiffer dust cloths, or swabs. Results include a detailed health report with genus-level mold identification and an ImmunoLytics health scale rating for each sample.

What should I do after receiving my mold test results?

After receiving your results, review your scores using the ImmunoLytics health scale. If any samples show elevated mold levels, you can schedule a consultation with an ImmunoLytics expert to discuss remediation options and plan a retest after any corrections are made. Results from Gravity Plates, Swiffer dust, and swab tests can all be reviewed together to get the full picture of your home’s mold situation.
