Method CC 003

Thermophilic Fungi Count (Culture at 37C) and Genus Identification from Dust Samples


This method is for the determination of environmental fungi count (Culture at 37C) and genus identification from dust samples. Samples are collected using Aerotech's CarpetChek system which uses a microvac-type sampling device with a dust cassette and a high-volume vacuum pump. The collected dust is sent to the laboratory where it can be analyzed for total and viable fungal spores.
