Laboratory
Mold Investigations Laboratory is a local full service microbiology testing laboratory
comprised of professionals in the microbiology, chemistry, and environmental fields. With a combined 35 years
of experience, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with accurate, timely and meaningful data
of high quality that you require to determine if your site has a mold problem. Our convenient location in
the Portland Metropolitan area ensures that we can respond quickly to your sampling and testing requirements,

- quantitative air sampling for viable mold and spores
- isolation, enumeration, and identification of toxic molds
(e.g., Stachybotrys)
- detailed explanation of all findings
