I used this product in an office in our factory. It was fairly simple to do. I had results with in 72-96 hours. I sent the sample to the lab to be analyzed. The explanation of the results were very detailed. I would use this mold test kit again.
The only complaint I have is that you must use 2 mold kits for sampling. One to test the area in question and one to test the air quality outside the area.
Why not just have two kits in one package?

A couple of notes from the box:

- "The optional lab analysis requires sending the petri dish to Pro-Lab for a detailed report. ($30 lab fee required.)"

- "A minimum of two test kits are recommended for air sampling to compare indoor to outdoor air quality. ... If the results of the samples indicate that the amount of mold growth indoors is significantly greater than the mold growth outdoors, you may have a mold problem. One mold test kit is needed for each indoor area of concern."

Doing research on the web after the fact there seems to be a great deal of what's the proper way to test for mold, find out the type of mold and on and on. This one though you can test for mold a couple of ways, getting a swab of the suspected area and putting it in the pietre dish that comes with it or taping it to your AC unit vent for at least 5 minutes on high to get a sample of the air. If there's no mold growing after 24 hrs then you're done. If there is then you send it in in the envelope they provide with $30 to find out what type of mold it actually is. as in severity and so forth. I saw these 6 total different kit types at my hardware store the other day. It also states that you will need electrical tape to seal the dish shut if you need to mail it in.
