Environmental Investigation Bundle

Three analytical perspectives. More pieces of the environmental puzzle.

Environmental investigations rarely depend on a single measurement. This bundle combines fungal DNA analysis by MSQPCR, Endotoxin quantification, and bacterial community profiling by BacID so the investigator can evaluate the submitted environment from several analytical perspectives.

The goal is not to replace professional judgment, but to provide a broader set of laboratory data points that can be considered together when building an overall understanding of the environment being investigated.

Choose Your MSQPCR Panel

  • ERMI + Endotoxin + BacID
  • ERMI+3 + Endotoxin + BacID
  • ERMI-XL + Endotoxin + BacID
  • Fungiten + Endotoxin + BacID
  • HERTSMI-2 + Endotoxin + BacID

What Each Part Adds

  • MSQPCR: targeted quantitative fungal DNA results in SE/mg.
  • Endotoxin: quantitative Gram-negative bacterial component measurement reported in EU/mg.
  • BacID: broad bacterial community profiling using 16S next-generation sequencing, including relative abundance data.

Sample Type

Environmental dust. Because this bundle includes multiple analytical methods, collecting sufficient dust is especially important. When possible, submit at least 15 mg of dust.

Processing & Reporting

MSQPCR and Endotoxin are processed according to the bundle service configuration. BacID follows Lis Biotech's weekly sequencing schedule: samples received Monday through Wednesday are reported the following Tuesday; samples received Thursday or Friday are reported the following Friday.

Important Information

This bundle provides environmental laboratory measurements from complementary analytical methods. Results reflect the submitted sample and sampling method. The selection of testing services is the responsibility of the customer or the environmental professional directing the investigation.

ERMI Score Considerations

"The ERMI score is a parameter designed to estimate the water damage experienced by a building. It is based on an assessment of the levels of DNA of groups of molds found to be associated with such buildings, as proposed by the work of Vesper( ) – it is calculated by firstly taking the log10 of the Spore Equivalents of each mold concentration determined from the MSqPCR analysis of the DNA found in the dust sample provided. Then the sum (A) of the logs of Group 1 (a selected set of 26 molds associated with locations where mold growth has occurred following water damage) is calculated. Similarly, the sum (B) of the logs of group 2 (a selected set of 10 reference molds commonly found in indoor locations) is calculated. The difference between these sums (A-B) is then becomes the ERMI score. This result is a relative index of the mold level present in the environment where the sample was collected as a determinant of the water damage historically suffered by the building. This index alone does not provide information about the amount or kind of mold present in the sample. However, individual mold information can be found in the ""ERMI PANEL QPCR ANALYSIS"" section of this report, where each mold concentration is expressed as SE/mg (Spore Equivalent per mg of dust)"

NB: Interpretation of the nature, conditions, pathogenicity, toxicity, or other information about mold species must be discussed in consultation with a specialist. Ref "Development of an Environmental Relative Moldiness index for US homes" Vesper S. et al, Occupational Env. Med, 49, 829 – 833.
