Detection Tools/Surface Mould Risk Screening

Surface mould screening swab

Collect surface samples through disposable swabs, and then use the reaction solution for colorimetry to assist in screening mould risk areas that need attention. Shake for 5 seconds according to the operation diagram, and read the label on the tube wall after 10 minutes. It is suitable for preliminary inspection of incoming materials, storage and abnormal surfaces.

01 / Product Application

First identify the surface areas that need attention on site

The anti-mould test pen combines surface sampling with colorimetry, and is suitable for rapid screening in incoming materials, warehousing and abnormality inspection. Recording the reactions of different parts in the same way will help narrow the scope of subsequent investigation.

01

Random inspection of incoming materials and packaging

It is used for screening and selecting the surface of materials such as leather, wood, cartons and fibers. The sampling position should be consistent and batch records should be kept.

02

Storage and investigation of abnormal conditions

Take samples around the suspected affected parts of walls, furniture and products, and look for areas that require further attention based on the environment and moisture conditions.

03

Comparison before and after treatment

Compare samples from different parts or before and after treatment according to consistent sampling conditions; when quantification or project conclusions are required, corresponding testing will be arranged.

03 / Application coordination

Standardize sampling to avoid interference caused by contact

The specific operation and interpretation time shall be carried out according to the instructions provided with the product, and the sampling method shall be consistent for the same batch of comparison samples.

  1. 01

    Collect samples independently

    Select the surface to be inspected. The sampling swab only contacts the target sample and avoids touching the swab with hands or other objects.

  2. 02

    Fully contact with the reaction solution

    Insert the swab back into the tube to the bottom of the reaction solution, shake thoroughly, and use each swab for an independent sample.

  3. 03

    Normal light colorimetric record

    Read the colour against the tube wall label at the corresponding interpretation time, record the sample and location, and locate the location for subsequent inspection based on on-site inspection.

5 steps

Steps Operation points
1. Wipe sampling Take out the swab and wipe the surface to be inspected. The swab only contacts the sample being tested this time.
2. Put it back into the tube After completing the sampling, insert the swab back into the original tube.
3. Contact with reaction solution Press the swab to the bottom of the tube, make full contact with the reaction solution at the bottom, and shake for 5 seconds.
4. Wait for response Follow the operating instructions and read the results after 10 minutes.
5. Colour comparison under normal light Compare the colour of the reaction solution with the label on the wall of this branch, and record the sampling location, time and colour.

Interpretation and field recording

Purple means there is a risk reaction at the sampling point this time, green means there is no purple reaction this time. On-site screening is used to locate inspection areas; bacterial species, bacterial counts, and mould-proof levels are evaluated using corresponding microbiological testing items.

  • One pen corresponds to one sampling and cannot be used repeatedly across samples.
  • When comparing different locations, sample and label them separately, and keep the sampling locations and photos after the reaction.
  • For samples that have been treated with chemicals or have just been cleaned, the processing products and time must be stated together before determining whether they are suitable for this screening.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about anti-mould test pens

What does the anti-mould test pen mainly check?

It is used for rapid screening of mould risks on material surfaces through swab sampling and reaction liquid colorimetry, helping to identify areas requiring further attention on site.

How do you understand green and purple?

Read the colour against the label on the tube wall of this product: purple means risk reaction, green means no purple reaction occurred this time. This result reflects the colorimetric status of this surface sampling and is suitable for on-site screening and subsequent sampling positioning.

Can one test multiple products?

No. It is a disposable consumable, and one sample corresponds to one sampling; repeated sampling will affect the results and comparability between samples.

Can it be used to prove that the product passed the three-party mould test?

The test pen is used for preliminary screening of on-site surfaces; third-party anti-mould performance testing uses material samples under specified conditions. We provide operating instructions and can assist in bridging material testing and sample delivery.

How to apply for samples and operating materials?

You can leave a message or call to explain the materials, screening scenarios and dosage. We will communicate the samples and provide relevant instructions for operation, interpretation and storage; the requirements for consumable materials can be raised together.

How long does it take for the anti-mould test pen to read the results?

Insert the sampling swab back into the tube and press it to the bottom of the tube. Shake for 5 seconds. After 10 minutes, read the label on the tube wall under normal light.

Can greenness prove that the product is completely mould-free?

Green means there is no purple reaction at this sampling point. We use this result to carry out investigation in conjunction with material moisture content, packaging and on-site records. The mould resistance level of the finished product is evaluated by the corresponding material testing.

Can I use the same pen to detect multiple locations?

This product is a disposable consumable. Each one is used for an independent sample or sampling location, and the location and interpretation results are recorded respectively.
