TEST " is ready to be the first response in helping homeowners combat the growing

problem of Black Mold with a simple-to-use hand-held mold test that can give

results in 15 minutes or less.

The " Informant " is not a culture, settlement plate, swab collection kit, or an

ATP test. Rather it is a highly accurate testing technology called

immunochromatographic assay, also known as a rapid test or Hand-Held Assay

(HHA). Unlike the ATP test, which detects all living cells regardless of what

those cells are, the " Informant 15 Minute Black Mold Detection Test " detects

only specific sub-species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys. These

types of black mold are the sub-species that have been determined to be

hazardous to human health and welfare.

Mold in the home of the " black " variety is a slimy dark greenish-black

substance. It is most common in damp, moist areas of walls, ceilings and floors.

Look for leaky pipes, leaky roofs, damp basements and crawl spaces, high

humidity of over 55%, recent flooding, mildew and musty odors, allergy problems,

condensation and/or rusting, wall discoloration, growth in grout and around

bathroom floors. These are just a few of the signs that black mold may be

present. Unfortunately, you cannot identify these species simply by sight. But

with AdVnt's new " Informant 15 Minute Black Mold Detection Test " you can now

identify toxic black mold quickly. Environmental testing for black mold in homes

and business is critical, as it can be a serious threat to your health.

Last, but not least, the speed and accuracy of the " Informant 15 Minute Black

Mold Detection Test " will make it a desirable tool for the professional in the

industry. Its very fast, specific and accurate performance is due to the very

special patented monoclonal antibodies that AdVnt uses to create each test. This

makes the test ideal for use in the construction, remediation, real estate and

insurance industries. So whether you are a home owner wanting to ensure the

health and safety of your family, or a working professional who knows the

importance of having an early, rapid detection capability to help with making

crucial decisions when confronted with black mold issues, the Informant is ready

to be put to the test.
