Analysis of allergens in environmental samples.
We offer analysis for indoor allergens in environmental samples, such as surface or airborne house dust, air duct extracts, air filter samples and other biologic or environmental samples from a domestic, school or commercial setting.
This service is available for professionals in the indoor air quality, industrial hygiene, occupational health industries and any other bodies involved in environmental testing services.
We can provide you with a detailed protocol and kit for collecting your sample or we can process a sample that has been harvested using your own techniques.

We will give you a short report to assist you on result interpretation.
Airborne Allergen Levels are quantified using an augmented ELISA with a detection level of 20pg for House Dust Mite and 2.5pg for Cat Allergen.
