Easyculture(TM) Laboratory In A Box(TM) Mold Test Kit for the non-specialist.
We do more than put a bottle and petri dish in a package.
All petri dishes have saftey tape. the other Mold Test Kits are not consumer safe. The only Mold Test Kit with 2 different media for better recovery of mold organisms. The only Mold Test Kit with a diluent for sample dispersion. The only Mold Test Kit with the consumer support you need.
Our mold test kit media for Drop Out Plating is is specially formulated for us by Micrology Laboratories. The high pH media drops out many Fungi that prefer low pH media, with the target of the recovery being Fungus which prefer high pH media; the low pH media drops out many Fungi that prefer high pH media, with the target of the recovery being Fungi which prefer low pH media. Mold test Kit or Yeast/Candida Test Kit? The difference between a Mold test kit and Yeast/Candida Test Kit is not in the media or the physical characteristic of the test kit but in the procedure, or method of use, and the objective or target organisms. Mold test kits are concerned with Filamentous and Non-filamentous Molds and are many times surface samples of mold growth or air samples by settling plate or in-line filter cassette. Heating the media is normally not needed unless thermally dimorphic Fungi is suspected. Air samples by settling plate: Note the time, date and sample label on the Petri dish tape strips on the top of the Petri dish. Get a large towel and lie the towel where you are going take the settling plate sample. Remove the tape that wraps the Peter dish; hang the tape so you can reuse it to safety re-seal the Petri dishes. Set the two Petri dishes side by side on the towel. Open the dishes, placing the tops down without turning them over. Using distilled water in a spray bottle, mist the air over (and well above) the open Petri dishes with 4 or 5 sprays. Mist overand above the open Petri dishes with 4 or 5 sprays several times in the next hour. A small amount of water in the Petri dishes is expected; there should be no more than a thin layer of water in the dish DO NOT OVER SPRAY. After 1 hour, cover the Petri dishes and, keeping yjem level, move them to a table or flat surface so you can pour the media into the Petri dishes. Now pour the red media into 1 Petri dish: replace the top on the now poured Petri dish. Now pour the amber media into the other Petri dish and replace the top of the Petri dish. Do not move the Petri dishes; allow 45 plus minutes for the media to harden. Safety tape the now poured Petri dishes. Place the Petri dishes In the incubator box. Open in 48 hours and see what is growing. Convert the incubator box into a photo stand. Send us a photo. Note: neither the diluent nor the pipette are used in this method. Dust or surface sampling; The diluent is important in this method. Note the time, date and sample label on the Petri dish tape strips on the top of the Petri dish. Clean your hands well. Open one alcohol swab; leave the swab in the opened package, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the swab to dry out. Use the other alcohol swab to sterilize a pair of scissors and cut the first (dry) alcohol swab in two equal pieces. Use both halves of the now cut dried alcohol swab to swipe or blot the surface to be tested. Insert the now contaminated swabs into the 10ml diluent. Allow to stand for 2 - 45 minutes. If the humidity is dry or the sample is old mold growth, 1 hour in the diluent is recommended. Divide the diluent equally between the red and amber media; allow to stand for twenty minutes. Remove the tape that wraps the Peter dish; hang the tape so you can reuse the tape to safety re-seal the Petri dishes. Remove the top of the Petri dish. Set it down without turning it over. Now pour the red media into 1 Petri dish, place the top on the now poured Petri dish. Now pour the amber media into the other Petri dish and replace the top of the Petri dish. Do not move the Petri dishes ;allow 45 plus minutes for the media to harden. Safety tape the now poured Petri dishes. Place Petri dishes In the incubator box. Open in 48 hours and see what is growing. Convert the incubator box into a photo stand. Send us a photo. Yeast/Candida Test Kit Our Yeast/Candida test kit media for Drop Out Plating is specially formulated for us by Micrology Laboratories. The diluent is important in this method. Note the time, date and sample label on the Petri dish tape strips on the top of the Petri dish. Clean your hands well. Open one alcohol swab; leave the swab in the package allow the alcohol to evaporate and the swab to dry. Use the other alcohol swab to sterilize a pair of scissors and cut the alcohol swab in two equal pieces. Swab the area of your body to be tested; if testing under a fold of skin, lift the excess skin away from the area to be swabbed. Insert the sample swabs into the 10ml diluent. Allow to stand for two minutes. Divide the diluent equally between the red and amber media. Remove the tape that wraps the Peter dishes; hang the tape so you can reuse the tape to safety reseal the Petri dishes. Remove the top of the Petri dish. Now pour the red media into 1 Petri dish, replace the top on the now poured Petri dish. Now pour the amber media into the other Petri dish and replace the top of the Petri dish.

candida cutaneous infection candida oral infection candida lung infection systemic yeast infection fungal infection sinusitis The Yeast Candida appears more frequently in morbidity and mortality reports than all the filamentous and non-filamentous moulds. Yeast is disseminated in the air by humans and pets. Breathing too much yeast is just as bad for you as breathing too much mould. To effectively capture Yeast for air quality testing purposes, you must use a cellouse filter cassette. Yeast recovery for culture from a cellouse filter cassette requires Fungi Culture Protocol that use Hypotonic Culture in the recovery process. To remove yeast and yeast like organisms from the air in a dwelling you must biowash the air. Current culture methods and materials do not provide the environment required for the morphologic development of yeast and yeast-like organisms. The formation of pseudohyphae and hyphal-like extensions is predictable with our transformational hypotonic solution culture methods. Subsurface culture, calcium ionization and terminally independent solidification of the media promote 3-D morphological development of yeast and yeast-like organisms. Easygel ® Yeast Morphology PDA Agar Calcium Enriched media causes a transition from the unicellular yeast form to a hyphal growth mode, this dimorphism is simply achieved and is pictured below. The encapsulation of the yeast in a subsurface environment also causes projectile sporing and should be further investigated to determine if this condition is an occurrence Lysis (disruption of the cell wall) or some other mechanism. Cytolysis may occur in re-culture form one Easygel ® media to another or the same Easygel ® media as there is ample water during the first three days of growth. A major factor in the Cytolysis of organism re-cultured in Easygel ® media is that a healthy specimen grown in a nutritionally rich environment is re-cultured into a fertile condition , so the organism will grow and thrive. The population of organisms in the culture determine the depletion of the nutritional and water content of the media. The ratio of nutritional and water content to the population of organisms will be the determining factor as to the occurrence of Cytolysis

Personal Self Diagnosis; Aggressive Monitoring and Yeast Testing Programs Yeast in your body is usually commensal (Of, relating to, or characterized by a symbiotic relationship in which one species is benefited while the other is unaffected). Multi-antibiotic treatment may be the start of a virulent Yeast Candida growth as may many other factors. Unfortunately the yeast count in your body is your yeast count and the yeast count varies from person to person. As there is no benchmark for an acceptable yeast count in the human body the only way to know what is going on is to test on an ongoing basis. Real yeast test that will recover a broad spectrum of yeast is not without cost, it is easier to presume a out of control level of yeast and consult your physician or health care professional.Self diagnosis and treatment are growing in popularity; the Candida Self Test is a tool for self diagnosis. The Candida Self Test has not been reviewed or approved by the FDA or any recognized medical body. The Candida Self Test will recover yeast and molds from expelled saliva, skin and skin folds. The Candida Self Test is not meant to replace your doctor's advice; consult your doctor or licensed health care professional for medical advice.
