Respirare Mycotoxin Testing
in New Jersey

Mold testing identifies which mold species are present. Mycotoxin testing identifies the actual toxic compounds mold produces, which directly impact health. Mycotoxins can be present even after mold removal, which is why mycotoxin testing matters for post-remediation verification.

Respirare Labs states it is the only laboratory in the nation capturing and analyzing airborne mycotoxins. While others test for mold spores, Respirare uses patented technology and gold-standard ELISA analysis to detect the toxic compounds themselves.

They answer different questions. Air sampling measures your inhalation risk in the breathing zone. Surface testing identifies mycotoxins on walls, furniture, and belongings you contact. Sample type and particle size determine what each detects, and testing both gives the most complete picture.

Results take 3 to 5 business days from when your sample arrives at the laboratory. You receive a comprehensive report identifying the specific mycotoxins detected and their concentration levels.

No. These are environmental tests measuring what is in your home, not in your body. Results tell you whether your living environment contains harmful mycotoxins, which is useful information for a physician, but any medical diagnosis belongs with a doctor.

Absolutely. Mycotoxins can be present without visible mold growth. They hide in walls and HVAC systems and travel through the home on settled dust and air currents. Many people with mycotoxin exposure never see visible mold.

Often. Remediation removes mold growth and contaminated materials, but mycotoxins are chemically stable and remain on surfaces and in dust. Post-remediation testing is the only way to confirm they are gone, rather than assuming they left with the mold.

Yes. You are simply collecting samples that get sent to the lab. Testing is especially important for pregnant women, children, elderly family members, and anyone with a compromised immune system, as these groups are most vulnerable to mycotoxin exposure.
