While a professional assessment identifies the source of air quality issues, the Prism Air Sample provides the scientific proof. This is not a basic hardware-store test kit; it is a professional-grade thermal desorption tube used in conjunction with the Prism high-volume air sampler to capture a molecular snapshot of your indoor environment.
Each sample is analyzed by an accredited laboratory using GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) to identify:
Total VOCs (TVOCs): The cumulative chemical load in your air.
Chemical Fingerprinting: Identification of over 400+ specific compounds, from formaldehyde and benzene to hidden solvents and fragrances.
MVOCs (Microbial VOCs): actively growing mold. This is a game-changer because it detects mold hidden behind walls or under floors that traditional "spore trap" tests often miss.
Precision: Captures chemical concentrations down to the parts per billion (ppb).
Objective Data: Provides hard evidence to support health insurance claims, landlord negotiations, or remediation planning.
Building Biology Compliance: Results are formatted so they can be directly compared to the SBM-2015 Evaluation Guidelines.
To get the most accurate picture of your home, we recommend:
The Targeted Approach (1 Sample): Best for testing one specific "problem room" where symptoms are most severe (e.g., a bedroom or nursery).
The Baseline Approach (2 Samples): One sample taken in the main living area and one taken outdoors to act as a "control" for comparison.
The Whole-Home Screening (3+ Samples): One sample per floor or per distinct HVAC zone to identify how pollutants are migrating through the house.
Professional collection using the Prism High-Volume Sampler.
All laboratory analysis and processing fees.
A detailed chemical breakdown report integrated into your final Assessment.
Note: This product is an add-on for the Indoor Air Quality Assessment service. It cannot be purchased as a standalone "DIY" kit, as it requires professional calibration and collection.
