"When taking tape lift samples, clear (not frosted) cellophane tape or specially made
tape slides should be used. The greater the adhesiveness of the tape or slide, the better
the laboratory results. Samples should be taken by folding the end (for handling) of a 1
to 2 inch piece of tape, or using a specially manufactured tape slide, and touching the
adhesive side to a surface where mold growth is suspected, and gently pressing the tape
or tape slide with enough pressure to create an impression of the mold colonies. Tape
slides, if available, are preferred due to the easy nature of sampling and the minimal
potential loss of mold spores during sampling, shipment and analysis." - John Bromley,

Our Patented Mold Tape Slides allows the user to sample for mold spores in the
ambient air and to sample visible mold using the same techniques/methods utilized
by environmental consultants. Our Mold Tape Slides is compromised of a 1" by
3" optically clear plastic slide with a 1" adhesive area, large label for sample
identification and a hard plastic slide mailer for shipment.
Accukits Mold Tape Slides are superior because:
especially on moist and/or wet surface where mold spores grow;
that can occur during shipping;

Accukits Mold Tape Slides are superior because:
 | Provides sample reliability and standardization; | |
| Perfect for mold/fungal sampling; | |
| Has 3x more adhesiveness than BioTape slides or regular Scotch tape |
| More spores adhere to the slide even in moist/wet sampling conditions; | |
| Individually Bar-coded for Laboratory Tracking; | |
| Eliminates any potential cross contamination of samples; | |
| Eliminates problems of placing tape in bags, or broken glass slides |
| Requires minimal to no prep time at laboratory; and, | |
| Compatible with optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy |
