Re: mold plate

[Guest guest]

I had a hard time finding them - -- only one of three Home Depots I visited had

it and no one knew where it was, I had to walk around the store for a really

long time. I recommend ordering them online. Google ProLab mold test

[] mold plate

My doctor wants me to do a mold plate in my house. Are these kits pretty

available at home depot?

Gingersnap,

Do an outside control too.

If you think you could use 4, Environmental

Clinic of Dallas ones are good deal, 4 for 100.00

includes testing. They ship them two day

priority mail.

There are some other sources by mail.

My Home Depot is out of them right now. You can

call Pro Lab tollfree and order them. They are

9.95 a piece I believe. If you catch NOTHING,

you are done with expense. They say wait 3 days.

I'd hold them for a week at least. Some molds

are slower growing but usually you have growth

within 2-3 days. If they grow mold and you want

it analyized, you put them in envelope provided

and enclose additional amount for testing. I

forget what the addl cost is, since I so

frequently use them just to the get a count of

spores, but I think it's about 35.00 for each

plate sent for analysis. I can post their tel no

tomorrow. I'm not at home right now.

It's 30 bucks for the regular speed analysis which takes a LONG TIME (I've been

waiting over two weeks) or for $45 they say they will give you the results in

three days after they receive the test.

You can get them cheaper at web sites online.

I know when you are waiting for the results, it's

seems like forever.

Website says they are available at Walmart stores

now.

Lori, when I went to website it said they were

9.95 each. Isn't that what you paid for them at

Home Depot?

Lori,

It would be much better then to get the 4 for

115.00 from American Environmental Center, as

part of Environmental Clinic of Dallas, and

testing is included. They are 100.00 and the

15.00 is for two day shipping which they do so

plates arrive in fresh condition. Then they tell

you to keep in refrigerator and use within two

weeks. People go there from all over the world

for there work with mold and other environmental

problems. Although I think ProLab is good enough

for the price, if you are for sure going to get

them analyized, I think an analysis from the

Dallas Clinic would be more reliable. YMO
