Know What’s Lurking. Test What Matters.
Mold Tests Miss Mycotoxins
Air and surface testing is designed to detect mold. But mycotoxins, the toxic chemical byproducts of mold, cannot be detected with traditional mold tests.
That’s why we created the Superstratum Detection Kit—a science-backed way to test for both mold and the mycotoxins it leaves behind.
Detect 40+ of the Most Dangerous Mycotoxins
The Superstratum Detection Kit screens for hundreds of molds and 40 of the most toxic and clinically significant mycotoxins found in water-damaged buildings and contaminated environments. This includes:
Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, M2)
Trichothecenes like T-2, HT-2, Diacetoxyscirpenol, Fusarenone X, Roridin E, Satratoxins G & H
Ochratoxins, Fumonisins, Zearalenone, Gliotoxin, Citrinin, Penitrem A, and many more
Rare and high-toxicity compounds such as Viridicatumtoxin, Verrucarin A, Rugulosin, and Stachybotrylactum
This industry-leading panel ensures nothing is missed—empowering you with clear, lab-certified data to protect your health and your home.
How to Use Your Detecion Kit
Whether you're testing a specific area you suspect may have mold, or evaluating your entire home for the presence of mycotoxins, the Superstratum Detection Kit offers a simple and reliable solution.
For Visible or Suspected Mold
Use this method when you can see mold or suspect it’s growing in a specific spot. It focuses on high-risk areas to help identify potential contamination at the source.
Instructions:
1. Mold Tape Sample
- Remove the tape from its clear plastic holder (keep the holder).
- Locate the visible or suspected mold area.
- Peel off the clear plastic cover.
- Press the sticky side of the tape directly onto the mold.
- Return the tape to its plastic holder (leave the cover off).
2. Mycotoxin Swab Sample
- Swab the same area you tested with the tape.
- Use both sides of the swab and apply firm pressure.
- The dirtier the swab, the better the results.
For Dust & Hidden Contamination
Use this method to get a broader understanding of your home’s overall air quality. It’s best if you don’t see visible mold but still feel unwell or suspect hidden issues.
Instructions:
1. Mold Tape Sample
- Remove the tape from its plastic holder (keep the holder).
- Pick a dusty area like a shelf, baseboard, or vent.
- Peel off the clear plastic cover.
- Press the sticky side of the tape firmly onto the surface.
- Return the tape to the plastic holder.
2. Mycotoxin Swab Sample
- Choose dusty surfaces in multiple rooms (baseboards, ceiling fans, door jambs).
- Wipe approximately one foot with one side of the swab.
- Repeat using the other side.
- Sample multiple rooms for the most accurate overview.
- Record how many rooms you swabbed on the Chain of Custody form.
Package & Return Your Kit
Once your samples are collected, sending them in is simple and fast. Just follow the steps below to complete your test.
Instructions:
1. Fill Out the Chain of Custody (COC) Form
- Complete every field, especially:
- Your email address
- The Kit ID number
- Number of rooms swabbed (if using Whole-Home Testing)
2. Package Your Materials
- Place the mold tape, swab sample, and completed COC form into the prepaid return envelope.
- Drop the envelope at any FedEx location.
3. Get Your Results
- Results will be emailed to you from testing@superstratum.co
- Most kits are processed within 3–7 business days of lab receipt.

Results Backed by Peer-Reviewed Testing
Our methods are rooted in peer-reviewed science, giving you results you can trust—not guesswork or gimmicks.
CLIA & AIHA Standards Compliant
Tested and validated under strict CLIA and AIHA guidelines to ensure accuracy, reliability, and professional-grade results.
Real Science for Real Answers: The Superstratum Mycotoxin Detection Kit
The Superstratum Mycotoxins Detection Kit uses Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS)—an advanced lab method that detects toxic mycotoxins, not just mold.
While other tests stop at what’s visible, LC–MS identifies microscopic mycotoxins left behind in dust and on surfaces—even after mold is gone.
- LC separates complex samples
- MS pinpoints tiny toxin particles
It’s real lab science, made simple for your home.
What Real Customers Are Saying
Megan R.
"I had no idea that mycotoxins could linger even after visible mold was gone. This kit gave us clear lab results and helped explain why I still wasn’t feeling right in certain rooms. Simple to use and totally worth it."
James T.
"We tested our kids' playroom and were shocked. There was no visible mold, but the results showed mycotoxins in the dust. I’m so glad we tested. Now we know where to focus our next steps."
Alana D.
"The kit was straightforward. I followed the instructions and had results emailed in just a few days. It was the confirmation I needed to move forward with a plan."
Chris & Mia K
"We’d already spent thousands on mold removal, but this was the first time anyone mentioned mycotoxins. The test revealed hidden issues that professionals missed."
The first LC/MS Home Mycotoxin Test
Most kits check for visible mold. We go further—targeting mycotoxins, the toxic chemicals mold leaves behind, even after it's been cleaned up.
The Superstratum Detection Kit uses Liquid Chromatography (LC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS), the same technology used in pharmaceutical and food safety labs, to deliver high-precision results from dust and surface samples. This method is extremely accurate and avoids the fales positives of PCR based mycotoxins testing.
What makes us different?
✔ Detects toxic mycotoxins and not just mold
✔ Lab-grade science (LC–MS)—avoids inaccurate PCR methods
✔ Finds hidden contamination that mold tests miss
✔ Actionable results to guide your next steps
This isn't just about mold—it's about getting the full picture of your home so you can restore it to health.

Mycotoxins are harmful even at extremely low concentrations—often measured in single-digit parts per billion (ppb), according to government guidelines. Our lab-verified results detect these toxins with high precision, giving you clear, reliable insight into the presence of dangerous mycotoxins in your home.
Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
What exactly does this kit test for?
What exactly does this kit test for?
The Superstratum Detection Kit tests for mold spores (via tape sample) and mycotoxins (via swab sample). Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds and can remain on surfaces long after mold is removed.
What is LC/MS testing and why does it matter?
What is LC/MS testing and why does it matter?
LC/MS stands for Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. It’s a gold-standard laboratory method used to detect and measure microscopic mycotoxins that traditional mold tests miss.
Can I use this kit even if I don’t see mold?
Can I use this kit even if I don’t see mold?
Yes. If you or your family are experiencing symptoms in your home or you suspect hidden contamination, you can test dusty areas using the broad dust sampling method.
