2. Submission: Securely package and send the samples to the laboratory using the provided materials.
3. Analysis: The laboratory will perform a thorough analysis using next-generation sequencing.
4. Reporting: Receive a detailed report with Actinobacteria health risk scores, endotoxin levels, and HERTSMI-2 scores. The report provides insights into contamination levels, sources, and potential health risks.
5. Collaboration: Providing a detailed, customized report to your healthcare provider can greatly enhance their diagnosis by adding information on pathogenic, toxigenic, and inflammatory biological agents in your home. Additionally, the detailed reporting can significantly assist the home inspector by identifying areas in the home that may have microclimates supportive of specific bacteria or molds. The reports can also help the remediation provider how best to address the specific biotoxins. Moreover, occupants or patients can alter behaviors, enhance house cleaning, and improve hygiene practices to create a healthier home with less risk exposure, ultimately aiding in their recovery.
