ISO 16000-17 Fungal Spore DNA-Based Identification Testing
The ISO 16000-17 standard outlines a robust framework for the identification of fungal spores using DNA-based methods. This service is particularly valuable in environments where accurate and reliable fungal spore identification is critical, such as indoor air quality testing, hospital hygiene monitoring, and environmental assessments.
Incorporating advanced molecular biology techniques, this test provides precise and reproducible results that are essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The process begins with the collection of air samples using specialized sampling devices like Andersen settle plates or Burkard impactors. These specimens are then processed in our state-of-the-art laboratories to extract DNA from the fungal spores.
The extracted DNA is subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and subsequent sequencing, allowing for the identification of specific fungal species based on their unique genetic signatures. This method ensures a high degree of accuracy and specificity, making it an indispensable tool in various sectors including healthcare, construction, and research.
Our service includes comprehensive reporting that details the species identified along with quantitative data on spore concentration levels. This information is invaluable for stakeholders involved in maintaining indoor air quality or assessing potential health risks associated with fungal contamination. By leveraging this advanced technology, we offer a reliable solution for addressing complex biological challenges.
