Instructions:

1. Carefully remove the test plate from the plastic bag and place it on a level surface
2. Remove the lid from the plate. Do not touch the inside of the plate, this may contaminate it. Some weather conditions may cause a moisture layer to build up on the bottom of the plate. The droplets will not interfere with the performance.
3. Open the enclosed bottle and pour enough of the Test Gel (approximately 1 teaspoon) into the plate to evenly cover the bottom.
4. Place the lid back on the plate and keep it on a level surface until the liquid hardens (45 to 60 minutes).
5. To test the visual mold on a wall or other location, use the swab provided in the package and wipe the tip across the visual mold growth. Then gently wipe the mold sample from the swab into the gel in the plate. Cover the plate and note the location on the label on the outside bottom of the plate.
6. Place the covered plate in a dark, room temperature location such as a cabinet to allow the mold to grow. After 48 hours observe the mold growth, if no growth is observed, return the plate to the cabinet and examine it after 96 hours. If no mold is present after 96 hours analysis is not necessary.
7. If mold is present, the plate may be sent for lab analysis anytime after 48 hours. The plate must be sent for lab analysis within 5 days of the test.
8. If your results indicate there is a mold problem, we recommend that you consult with a professional for further evaluation and advice.
