EnviroBiomics Microbial Detection
in New Jersey

Standard laboratory tests identify a small number of spore types and often miss bacteria, actinomycetes, and toxin-producing molds. Broad-spectrum testing uses Next-Generation Sequencing to analyze hundreds of mold species and bacteria, revealing the full microbial profile of your home. NGS allows broader analysis than traditional culture methods.

This test detects mold species, including toxigenic varieties, bacteria and endotoxin-producing organisms, actinomycetes common in CIRS-related cases, pathogenic microbes, and other microorganisms present as fragments or DNA signatures. Advanced molecular analysis also detects non-viable spores impacting air quality, which culture plates cannot grow.

We collect settled dust, surface, or air samples depending on your home's specific conditions. Vacuum collection of settled dust determines the presence of organisms accumulated over months, giving a more comprehensive picture than a sample capturing a single moment.

The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index was developed by the EPA as a research tool, analyzing 36 mold species in settled dust through DNA-based analysis. Scores range from roughly -10 to 20, with 14 falling in the top 25% for mold burden. We use broader NGS sequencing instead, which is not limited to a fixed 36-species panel.

HERTSMI-2 narrows the relative moldiness index approach to five molds most closely linked to water damage, and practitioners working with sensitized patients often reference it. Like ERMI, it is a scoring tool built on a fixed panel, where NGS identifies whatever is actually present.

This testing is designed for homeowners with chronic or unexplained illness, families affected by past water damage or recurring mold, those undergoing medical evaluation for allergies, asthma, CIRS, or immune issues, owners of homes where basic tests showed normal results but symptoms persist, and buyers with moisture or odor concerns.

EnviroBiomics is a leading commercial environmental laboratory based in San Antonio, Texas, specializing in DNA-based environmental testing. Indoor environmental professionals use their analysis to detect hidden contamination that culture-based methods cannot reveal, and researchers use the same molecular genomic tools.

Humidity, ventilation, and moisture create conditions favorable to mold growth, so the same building tests differently across seasons. Context is what makes data useful, which is why we assess the environment before sampling rather than mailing you a kit and instructions.

Yes. Proper sampling requires an expert environmental assessment so the lab data is meaningful. Our certified building biologists identify moisture sources, hidden reservoirs, and HVAC issues, ensuring samples come from the right areas for accurate interpretation.

No. We test buildings, not people. Results identify what microorganisms are present and at what levels, and you can share that information with your doctor or practitioner. Testing can validate health concerns related to indoor air, but diagnosis belongs with a healthcare professional.

High levels indicate potential health risks worth acting on. GreenWorks provides a science-backed remediation strategy tailored to your home's structure, moisture patterns, and environmental risks, so you can make decisions based on data rather than guesswork. We eliminate the source rather than cleaning the symptom.

NGS identifies mycotoxin-producing species present in the environment, which tells you what could be producing toxins. Measuring the mycotoxins themselves is a separate analysis, and our mycotoxin sampling service covers that directly.
