Quantify the bacterial-toxin load hiding in household dust.
Endotoxin is a fragment of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Inhaled, it drives airway inflammation and is associated with asthma severity, wheezing, and respiratory symptoms - independent of whether the bacteria are alive.
Levels tend to be higher in homes with pets, dampness, or poor ventilation, and matter most for occupants with asthma or COPD.
Attach the nozzle to a household vacuum and collect dust onto the filter cassette from a defined area, following the instructions. Seal in the sterile vial and return.
The LAL assay uses a clotting reaction derived from horseshoe-crab blood cells that is exquisitely sensitive to endotoxin, quantifying the bacterial-toxin load in the dust.
Independently operated, with no ties to filter or remediation companies. Every sample is analyzed by an accredited partner laboratory under EPA-referenced methods, with a documented chain of custody — and your data is yours.
