As part of a collaborative effort, a data interface between GBA Group laboratories and Mineral Waste Manager will go live in October. This means that the assistance tool for mineral waste management will soon have a data interface to our laboratories and receive verified parameter values first-hand.

This globally occurring mold species is usally found on rotting organic waste, as well as in soil and on manure. The species plays a comparatively minor role indoors. Due to its low water activity, Aspergillus clavatus can also occur on dry substrates and is therefore classified as a xerophilic mold.

At GBA Group, we have more than 30 years of experience in environmental analysis. Our state-of-the-art laboratories ensure fast and competent environmental analysis services.

For a long time, the species Stachybotrys chartarum played a minor role in the analysis of indoor-relevant molds. Since the species grows relatively slowly, it is often strongly underrepresented in cultivating indoor air measurements because it is displaced by fast-growing genera (e.g. Aspergillus and Penicillium).

But what actually happens during sampling and how does the sample get from the environment to the laboratory?

We lift the curtain and offer an insight into the daily work at our environmental sites. To do so, we would like to share some impressions with you: From sampling to analysis in our state-of-the-art lab.
