Comprehensive Environmental Testing

Advanced laboratory testing for mold, bacterial, and toxin exposure — including ERMI, HERTSMI-2, Endotoxin, and Actinobacteria analysis.

ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index)

DNA-based testing quantifying a wide range of fungal species for historical and comparative exposure assessment.

Turnaround: ~10–14 business days

Order ERMI Test

HERTSMI-2

Targeted qPCR analysis identifying key mold species associated with water-damaged buildings and chronic exposure environments.

Turnaround: ~7–10 business days

Order HERTSMI-2 Test

Endotoxin (LPS) — Dust Analysis

Quantitative analysis of bacterial endotoxins in dust — relevant for inflammation and respiratory impact assessment.

Turnaround: ~7–12 business days

Order Endotoxin Test

Actinobacteria (Actinomycetes)

DNA or culture-based detection of actinobacterial species associated with complex microbial contamination in damp environments.

Turnaround: ~7–14 business days

Order Actinobacteria Test

Each lab test includes a call with one of our NORMI Certified Professionals to determine the health of your indoor environment and to provide actionable solutions for improvement.
