Description
EMMA is for Clinically Significant Mold and Mycotoxins
This test includes the top 10 most relevant mold species detected using the MSQPCR method, with a HERTSMI-2 Score included in the report.
To this, we add the detection of mycotoxins analyzed by the state of the art technologies ( LC/MS/MS )
The EMMA combined test is superior to offerings from other labs (e.g. EMMA) due to the broad range of mycotoxins detected and the lower limit of detection – this specificity and sensitivity offered by EnviroBiomics is unrivaled by that offered by any other laboratory.
Mycotoxins: Turn around time (TAT) 10 days.
