How are we different from others? At Mold & Bacteria Consulting Laboratories (MBL) Inc.:
- We provide prompt, accurate testing. We understand delayed decisions while the client awaits laboratory results cost our clients money.
- We consult with the client on the most appropriate test to use. Inappropriate test methods cost the client more money and give results that are difficult to interpret and subsequently a waste of resources. In most cases, simple tests that cost less are good enough and the results are easy to interpret.
- Samples are analysed by experts in the field of microbiology.
- Our reports do not just give mould names that are difficult to understand. We go a step further by:
- Assisting the client with data interpretation to help them draw informed conclusions.
- We provide a final report on completion of each test, containing the full results along with a clear explanation of the results and any appropriate comments on whether the identified moulds are known to present health risks.
- We provide telephone or email follow up for every report to make sure the report is thoroughly understood by the client.
- We guarantee complete confidentiality.
- We provide expert microbiological advice and after-sales service.
