Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Analysis
What is self-analysis mold testing?
Self-analysis means you use ImmunoLytics’ detailed guides to interpret your mold test results yourself, using the same health scale our laboratory provides. It is a cost-effective option for customers who want to understand their results independently — without sending samples to the lab.
What does the self-analysis guide include?
The ImmunoLytics self-analysis guide walks you through how to read your mold or bacteria plate, how to count colonies, how to interpret your results using the health scale, and how to understand what those counts mean for your indoor air quality.
Can I do self-analysis for both mold and bacteria?
Yes. ImmunoLytics offers separate self-analysis guides for mold plates and bacteria plates. You can use both guides if you tested for both, or select only the one that matches your samples.
Is self-analysis as accurate as full lab analysis?
Self-analysis using the ImmunoLytics guide can be reliable for straightforward results. For complex situations — such as very high counts, unusual growth patterns, or health concerns — full lab analysis with a certified IEP consultation is recommended for a more thorough interpretation.
What should I do if my self-analysis shows elevated levels?
If your results indicate elevated mold or bacteria levels, ImmunoLytics recommends upgrading to full lab analysis for a certified review and free IEP consultation. Your Indoor Environmental Professional can identify the source, assess the risk, and recommend next steps.
Do I need to send my plates to the lab for self-analysis?
No. Self-analysis is performed at home using your plates and the ImmunoLytics guide. You read the plate yourself using the visual counting guide and health scale. No shipping is required.
