Description
EMMA ENVIRONMENTAL MOLD AND MYCOTOXIN ASSESSMENT (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.
