This method is for the determination of bacteria count and gram stain identification from dust samples. Samples are collected using Aerotech's CarpetChek system which uses a microvac-type sampling device with a dust cassette and a high-volume vacuum pump. The collected dust is sent to the laboratory where it can be analyzed for total and viable fungal spores.
