Buy Air-O-Cell Cassettes at LA Testing & EMSL Laboratory Locations Air-O-Cell® cassettes are widely used by mold inspectors, indoor air quality professionals, environmental consultants, restoration contractors, industrial hygienists and other professionals to collect airborne particles for microscopic analysis. Customers looking to buy Air-O-Cell cassettes can obtain sampling supplies through participating LA Testing and EMSL Analytical laboratory locations. Having access to Air-O-Cell cassettes through laboratory locations provides a convenient source for sampling supplies and laboratory analytical services. Whether you need cassettes for a single mold inspection or supplies for ongoing indoor air quality projects, contact your nearest LA Testing or EMSL laboratory for availability. What Is an Air-O-Cell Cassette? An Air-O-Cell cassette is a spore trap sampling device designed to collect airborne particles onto an adhesive collection surface. During sampling, air is drawn through the cassette using a calibrated sampling pump. Airborne particles impact the collection media inside the cassette, creating a sample that can be examined microscopically by a laboratory. Air-O-Cell sampling is commonly associated with investigations involving: Mold spores Fungal structures Pollen Fibers Skin cell fragments Insect fragments Other airborne particulate matter Because multiple types of airborne particles can be collected on the same sample, Air-O-Cell cassettes are frequently used during mold and indoor air quality investigations. Buy Air-O-Cell Cassettes Near You Searching for “Air-O-Cell cassettes near me”? LA Testing and EMSL Analytical laboratory locations provide convenient access to environmental sampling supplies and laboratory services. Customers can contact their nearest laboratory to ask about Air-O-Cell cassette availability, sampling pumps and other mold and indoor air quality sampling equipment. Purchasing supplies directly through a laboratory can also make it easier to coordinate sampling with subsequent laboratory analysis. Air-O-Cell Cassettes for Mold Air Sampling Air sampling can provide useful information about airborne fungal spores and other particulate matter present at the time a sample is collected. Air-O-Cell cassettes are commonly used during: Residential Mold Inspections Home inspectors and mold professionals may collect indoor and outdoor air samples as part of a mold investigation. Commercial Building Investigations Environmental consultants and indoor air quality professionals can use spore trap samples when evaluating offices, schools, apartment buildings, hotels and other commercial properties. Water Damage Investigations Air sampling may be incorporated into investigations following leaks, flooding, plumbing failures or other moisture events. Post-Remediation Assessments Environmental professionals may use air samples as one component of an assessment following mold remediation activities. Indoor Air Quality Investigations Spore trap sampling can help characterize airborne biological and non-biological particulate matter observed during laboratory analysis. How Air-O-Cell Sampling Works Air-O-Cell sampling generally involves connecting the cassette to a suitable sampling pump and drawing a measured volume of air through the cassette. The basic process includes: Remove the protective seals from the Air-O-Cell cassette. Connect the cassette to an appropriate air sampling pump. Position the cassette at the desired sampling location. Operate the pump according to the sampling protocol being followed. Record the sampling time and relevant site information. Replace the cassette seals after sampling. Label the sample clearly. Submit the cassette to the laboratory for analysis. Sampling conditions, flow rates and sampling duration should be selected according to the objectives of the investigation and applicable professional protocols. Air-O-Cell Laboratory Analysis After sampling, Air-O-Cell cassettes can be submitted to a laboratory for microscopic examination. Laboratory analysts examine the collection trace to identify and quantify recognizable fungal spores and other particles according to the analytical service requested. Results can help environmental professionals evaluate the types and relative concentrations of airborne fungal structures observed in sampled areas. Laboratory data should be interpreted along with information obtained from the overall investigation, including visual observations, moisture measurements, building history and other samples when applicable. Sampling Supplies for Mold & Indoor Air Quality Professionals In addition to Air-O-Cell cassettes, customers conducting mold and indoor air quality investigations may require additional sampling equipment and supplies. Depending on the laboratory location and project requirements, supplies may include: Air sampling pumps Spore trap cassettes Surface sampling supplies Swabs Tape-lift sampling materials Bulk sample bags Sampling forms Shipping materials Contact the nearest LA Testing or EMSL laboratory for current product availability. Who Uses Air-O-Cell Cassettes? Air-O-Cell cassettes are frequently used by professionals involved with building investigations and environmental testing, including: Mold inspectors Home inspectors Indoor air quality consultants Environmental consultants Industrial hygienists Restoration contractors Property managers Facility managers Insurance-related consultants Remediation professionals Why Purchase Air-O-Cell Cassettes from LA Testing or EMSL? LA Testing and EMSL laboratory locations provide customers with access to environmental laboratory services along with sampling supplies used for many common testing applications. Customers can contact a laboratory location to discuss sampling supplies, laboratory analysis options, sample submission procedures and shipping requirements. For organizations that routinely conduct mold inspections or indoor air quality investigations, having a laboratory source for Air-O-Cell cassettes can simplify both sampling preparation and sample submission. Air-O-Cell Cassettes for Home Inspectors Environmental testing can expand the services available during residential property inspections. Home inspectors who provide mold or indoor air quality sampling may use Air-O-Cell cassettes to collect airborne samples from areas such as: Living spaces Bedrooms Basements Crawlspaces Attics Offices Mechanical rooms Areas affected by water intrusion Outdoor control or comparison samples may also be collected when appropriate for the investigation. Air-O-Cell Cassettes for Environmental Consultants Environmental and indoor air quality consultants frequently manage projects that require multiple samples from different areas of a building. Air-O-Cell cassettes provide a convenient sampling format for collecting airborne particulate samples during investigations of residential, commercial, institutional and industrial properties. Projects may involve moisture problems, occupant complaints, visible fungal growth, previous water damage or verification following remediation.
