Allergen testing
A targeted environmental sample can add information about selected indoor allergens. We help define what to look for, where to sample, and how the findings relate to your property.
Inside the method
Indoor allergen panels can cover different sources. These examples help shape the conversation before testing.
01Pet allergens
Selected assays can measure specific cat or dog allergen proteins in a suitable dust sample. The laboratory panel determines which targets are included.
An environmental result does not tell you whether a particular person is allergic.
02Dust mite allergens
Dust mite allergen testing examines selected proteins in the collected material. The location and collection method should match the question being investigated.
Results from different locations or methods may not be directly comparable.
03Other targets
Some laboratory panels include cockroach or rodent allergens. Availability, accepted samples, and reporting vary, so those details are confirmed in advance.
A targeted panel does not test for every possible indoor allergen.
What to expect
We start with your concern, agree on the scope, and make the findings easier to understand.
Share the rooms, occupancy history, and environmental concern.
Confirm the allergens, sampling locations, and suitable laboratory method.
Review the environmental results and practical property-focused next steps.
Tell us about recent cleaning, furnishings, pets, and any prior environmental testing. Follow the preparation agreed for your sample plan instead of changing routines just before collection.
Reading the findings
No. We are discussing samples from the indoor environment. Skin, blood, or other clinical allergy testing is handled by a healthcare professional.
Panels may include cat, dog, dust mite, cockroach, or rodent allergens. The specific targets and laboratory availability are confirmed for your project; all targets are not automatically included.
No. A targeted allergen assay and a mold examination answer different questions. Tell us what you are trying to understand so we can discuss the appropriate scope.
Discuss preparation with us first. Recent cleaning can change the material available to sample, so its timing should be recorded and considered in the plan.
The sample plan, requested analysis, and laboratory availability determine the cost and turnaround. We confirm the proposed scope, preparation, and expected timing before you proceed.
