There are two types of air sampling: viable and non-viable. Viable samples are those that are taken on a growth media and then incubated to allow germination and colony formation. The resulting colonies are then transferred to other media for identification. So viable air sampling involves culturing. On the hand, non-viable sampling refers to samples that are taken on some sticky media, filter membrane, or tape. They are then examined under a microscope for identification of mold spores without the need for culturing. There are several advantages to non-viable testing; it is economical, easy to use, no refrigeration is required, the sample does not dry up and can be store virtually anywhere, no incubation time is required and it's easy to ship to a laboratory. Here at Mold Busters we advocate the use of non-viable air testing for those reasons.
