Detect Mold Toxins Left on Your Home's Surfaces

The Respirare Labs MESA™ Mycotoxin Surface Test Kit is a professional-grade swab-based sampling system designed to detect mold toxins, also known as mycotoxins, on indoor surfaces. Unlike air testing, which captures what may be present in your breathing zone, MESA™ targets the toxins that can settle onto and persist on surfaces, materials, and belongings inside your home.

Why Surface Testing for Mycotoxins Matters

Removing visible mold is not the same as removing mycotoxins. Mold toxins can bind to drywall, furniture, textiles, HVAC components, and other building materials, remaining present long after mold has been treated or remediated.

Surface testing provides targeted, location-specific insight that air testing alone cannot offer. By swabbing a specific surface, you can determine whether mold toxins may be present at that location.

Everything you need for precise, lab-grade surface sampling is included. No additional equipment is required.

• Step-by-step instructions and QR video guide: Clear guidance for swab activation, swabbing technique, and return shipping
• Prepaid UPS shipping both ways: Return label and padded mailer included, no hidden shipping fees
• Professional laboratory analysis: Results typically delivered within 3–5 business days after our lab receives your sample

Where to Use the MESA™ Surface Test

MESA™ is designed for targeted testing of specific surfaces and materials. Common sampling locations include:

• Post-remediation areas: Help evaluate whether mold toxins remain on treated surfaces after remediation is complete
• Walls and building materials: Useful in rooms with a history of water damage or mold growth
• Furniture, mattresses, and textiles: Assess whether furnishings or belongings may need to be cleaned or replaced
• HVAC vents and accessible duct surfaces: Check whether mold toxins may be redistributing through your home's air system

Mycotoxins Tested in Your Surface Sample

The MESA™ analysis screens for mycotoxins commonly associated with indoor surface contamination:

• Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2
• Ochratoxin A
• Trichothecenes T2 and HT2

Optional Add-On Mycotoxin Analysis

Want broader screening of your surfaces? You can add additional mycotoxin analysis at checkout to expand the mycotoxins included in your report:

• Deoxynivalenol, also known as DON or Vomitoxin
• Zearalenone
• Fumonisins

What Happens After You Get Your Results

Every MESA™ order includes a complimentary 15-minute consultation with our team to help you understand your results and discuss next steps. Whether your report comes back as a detect or non-detect, you won't be left figuring it out alone.

Your lab report will clearly show:

• Which mycotoxins were detected on the surface sampled
• A detect or non-detect result for each mycotoxin tested
• Actionable information to help guide next steps for that surface or material
