ERMI+3

Expanded Environmental Mold DNA Analysis — 39 Targets

ERMI+3 expands the standard ERMI panel by combining the 36 ERMI mold species with three additional fungal targets. The analysis is performed using mold-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (MSQPCR) on submitted dust samples.

What Is Included

  • Standard 36-species ERMI panel
  • Fusarium solani
  • Ulocladium chartarum (syn. Alternaria chartarum)
  • Ulocladium botrytis
  • Quantitative MSQPCR results reported as SE/mg
  • Electronic laboratory report
  • Sampling materials and instructions

Sample Type

Accumulated dust collected with the supplied sampling material. Vacuum sampling is also available as an optional collection method.

Dust Quantity

Lis Biotech can accurately process samples containing as little as 1 mg of dust. For MSQPCR testing, 5 mg or more is recommended when possible.

Laboratory Turnaround Time

Same Day · 1 Day · 2 Day · 3 Day · 5 Day

Laboratory processing time begins when the sample is received by Lis Biotech. Shipping and transit time are not included in the selected laboratory turnaround time.

Important Information

ERMI+3 is an environmental laboratory measurement based on fungal DNA detected in the submitted dust sample. The selection of testing services is the responsibility of the customer or the environmental professional directing the testing. Interpretation of environmental or health significance should be discussed with an appropriately qualified professional.

Laboratory Processing Time (Timeframe for sample processing/reporting once it has been received at our offices)

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.
