Product Description
Product Description
The MOLD ARMOR Do It Yourself Mold Test Kit will safely and easily test for the presence of inside or outside mold with results within 48 hours. This convenient home kit also serves as an air quality monitor and includes three testing methods: Indoor Air Quality Test Method, Air Conditioning & Heating Sample Method, and a Surface Sampling Testing Method when visible mold is present. This air quality test kit can also be used to detect unseen mold in the home. Each kit contains a petri dish, swab, and mold growth medium. This mold test kit also includes an option for mail-in lab analysis to determine the mold type. While the MOLD ARMOR Do It Yourself Test Kit can be an important part of assessing your family’s potential exposure to mold, many factors contribute to any test’s effectiveness. The mold test kit can only detect airborne or surface mold spores, depending on test method, that are present in the area during testing. If symptoms of mold exposure persist, consult a certified mold specialist. Follow directions carefully and keep out of reach of children.

People who are complaining of needing to spend $40 to send it into the lab..... I was given a quote from a local business of more than $600 just for them to do this same test.... such a rip off! SO- this is a much better price to be able to test and find out if your suspected place has mold or not. Thank you Mold Armor!
The resulting growth has little value without getting an analysis, which is offered at an additional charge. That lab analysis is a selling point of this product.
Here's the problem: as of writing this there is no way to submit it. You are supposed to register your kit online in order to mail it in to the lab, but there is a message saying they are running behind by several days. However, despite that message merely stating that they are delayed, in reality there is no way to register AT ALL right now. Yesterday their website threw an error when you went to the registration page. Now it just redirects to a page that has no registration form. So you cannot submit your test for analysis, thereby making these kits little more than a home science project.
These should be taken off the market until Mold Armor is able to accept them for analysis again. Buy a different brand.
This kit would possibly be useful for someone who conducts a few hundred tests annually, who can identify mold species on their own, and who could properly correlate temperature- and moisture- controlled mold growth rates with the presence of mold. A tall order. Even so, they would have to have a solid methodology for sample collection, and even then I can imagine scenarios where their assessment of the situation was wrong. Plus if they were doing that many tests they ought to buy their own potato starch.
Good luck!
I had been deathly sick for 9 months. Lost 46 lbs due to gastro issue, was bed bound and feeling like I was about to die with absolutely no reason that anyone could figure out. Hundreds in medical bills and in reoccurring emergency room visits.
We set this up and a day later it was already forming colonies. We sent it out to get tested. Lo and behold it had three toxic species on the the description and one normal household mold. Anyway we moved out of that apartment and I’ve immediately started being able to slowly come back to eating and having less bizarre severe infections etc. I have chronic IBS due to the exposure but to think if I’d stayed there longer. I think my organs were starting to shut down so I’m beyond grateful there was a way to test that apartment before I’d gone into shock or something.
These guys were fast. Testing and results were fast. Really appreciate it! If you’re wondering if it’s worth it? It is.
