From the Manufacturer

The Kidde Mold Detection Kit allows quick sampling of visible mold colonies for questionable materials or discoloration. Samples are taken through the use of adhesive strips or by bagging small "bulk" type samples. Sample bags are included for bulk sampling. As directed, in the enclosed instructions, the mold strips are brought into contact with the surface to be sampled. These exposed strips are then placed on the sample submission card, provided, and returned for laboratory analysis. A preaddressed envelope is provided for return of the mold samples. Test results in the form of an analysis report are mailed back within 5-7 days of receipt at the test lab. This kit provides sampling capacity for up to 6 mold samples taken via mold strips and up to 3 "bulk" (2" x 2" x .5") samples such as a piece of carpeting, wallpaper, wood or similar material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Means to get a mold lab test done, August 27, 2011

This is just a basic kit with instructions, 6x tape strips, and 2x bags for collect mold samples. You then use the envelop provided to mail samples to a lab, which costs 20$ per test/analysis - which takes about a week to get returned. It basically just gives you a real easy straightforward means to get a lab test done. The kit is probably not worth the ten bucks to some, but it could be. The only thing I couldn't find prior to ordering it was how much the lab tests cost, which is 20$, a reasonable amount compared to other places.

This is simple to use. The results are sent quickly - the only drawback - each little sample taken costs $20 - yes, that's $20 for a strip of what looks like - scotch tape. I could only afford two. The allergist will help me define the results. Connie B
