The Informant (and Informant Plus) is a rapid, 15-minute on-site lateral flow test developed by AdVnt Biotechnologies. It is designed to detect the presence of highly toxigenic black molds (Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys chartarum) as well as major and minor fungal allergens on surfaces and in indoor environments.

Unlike traditional DIY mold tests (such as tape lifts, swabs, or petri dishes) which are merely collection devices requiring you to mail samples to a lab and wait days for results, the Informant kit is a complete diagnostic device. It utilizes proprietary antibodies to identify specific toxic mold species on the spot in 15 minutes.

The Informant test specifically targets and detects Stachybotrys chartarum (toxic black mold), Aspergillus species, and Penicillium species, which are known to produce hazardous mycotoxins, along with various common fungal allergens.

Yes, the Informant Mold Test provides highly accurate results on-site in 15 minutes or less after the sample is introduced to the test strip.

Many 'Instant Mold Tests' are simple protein verification tests originally developed for the food industry to check surface cleanliness. They change color in the presence of any organic material (including food, dust, and harmless molds). In contrast, the Informant test uses specific antigen-antibody reactions to detect only toxigenic black molds and allergens.

Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly known as toxic black mold, can produce highly toxic compounds called mycotoxins under proper moisture conditions. Chronic exposure to these spores can cause severe respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, and systemic health complications in humans and pets.

Physical signs include slimy, dark greenish-black or dark brown patches in damp areas, water stains on walls or ceilings, condensation on windows, musty or mildew-like odors, history of flooding or leaks, and high indoor humidity levels (above 55%).

Exposure can lead to headaches, chronic coughing, red/itchy eyes, skin rashes or hives, breathing difficulties, lethargy, dizziness, memory loss, asthma flare-ups, nasal congestion, and in extreme cases, bleeding in the lungs or organ damage.

No, it is impossible to identify toxic black mold species by visual inspection alone, as many harmless molds look identical to Stachybotrys. An antigen-specific test like the Informant is required for accurate preliminary identification.

To perform the test, you use the provided sterile swab to sample the suspected area, mix the swab in the extraction buffer vial to release the antigens, and then place a few drops of the liquid onto the test cassette. Read the results at the 15-minute mark.

A positive result is indicated by the appearance of two red lines in the test window: one Control line (C) confirming the test worked, and one Test line (T) indicating the presence of targeted black mold or fungal allergens.

A negative result shows only one red line in the Control (C) area, with no line appearing in the Test (T) area, indicating that targeted toxic molds were not detected above the threshold limit.

If no lines appear, or if only the Test line appears without the Control line, the test is invalid. This can occur due to improper sample volume or procedural errors. You must repeat the test with a new kit.

Yes, the Informant kit is highly effective for sampling visible mold on drywall, wood, tile, grout, concrete, carpet, and HVAC vents.

The Informant is primarily designed for surface and bulk sampling. To test air, you can collect settled dust from surfaces or HVAC filters where airborne spores naturally accumulate.

The extraction buffer is a mild saline-based solution containing preservatives. It is not toxic when used as directed, but it should not be ingested, and contact with eyes or open wounds should be avoided.

The Informant Mold Detection Test Kit typically has a shelf life of 18 to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature.

No, the Informant kit should be stored at room temperature (between 59°F and 86°F or 15°C and 30°C). Do not freeze the kit or expose it to prolonged extreme heat.

The Informant test is highly sensitive, engineered to detect mold spore concentrations at levels well below what is typically considered clinically significant for allergen trigger thresholds.

No. Because the Informant test utilizes specific antibodies that only bind to fungal antigens from Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys, it will not cross-react with food proteins, dust mites, or animal dander.

Yes, you can swab the interior of air vents, condensation pans, or fan blades where moisture and dust collect to check if your HVAC system is spreading toxic mold spores.

Yes, each Informant and Informant Plus kit is fully self-contained and includes a sterile collection swab, an extraction buffer vial, a lateral flow test cassette, and detailed step-by-step instructions.

The Informant Plus includes an enhanced buffer formulation and a wider detection spectrum for a broader range of allergenic fungal species, providing a more comprehensive environmental screen.

The results are visible in exactly 15 minutes. Reading the test earlier than 15 minutes or later than 20 minutes may result in inaccurate readings.

Yes, you can swab wet surfaces where mold growth is suspected. The extraction buffer is designed to handle damp samples without losing sensitivity.

A positive test indicates the presence of toxigenic mold. You should immediately isolate the area, identify and repair the moisture source, and contact a certified professional mold remediation specialist.

The Informant test is designed for simple, DIY operation. No professional training or special equipment is required to perform the test and read the results.

Stachybotrys chartarum typically appears dark green, dark brown, or black, but other non-toxic molds can also appear black. Visual appearance is not a reliable indicator of toxicity.

Yes, mold often grows inside wall cavities due to hidden pipe leaks. To test, you can drill a small hole in the drywall, insert a sterile swab to sample the interior cavity, and test it with the Informant kit.

Yes, the Informant detects common mildew-causing fungi if they belong to the targeted allergenic and toxigenic families (Aspergillus/Penicillium).

Yes, pets are highly susceptible to mycotoxins. Symptoms in pets include breathing difficulties, lethargy, nosebleeds, and skin irritation. Testing with the Informant can help protect your animals.

Used test kits can be safely disposed of in regular household trash. If a highly toxic mold was sampled, you may seal the used kit in a plastic bag before disposal.

Bleach only kills surface mold on non-porous surfaces but does not penetrate drywall or wood. You can use the Informant test 24-48 hours after cleaning to verify if toxic mold antigens are still present.

While it can detect targeted molds on plants or in soil, the kit is optimized for indoor building materials and home environments where toxic mold growth poses a health risk.

Pricing for a single Informant kit typically starts around $35.00 on the ADVNT.org store, with discounts available for multi-packs and bulk contractor cases.

Aspergillosis is an infection or allergic reaction caused by inhaling Aspergillus mold spores. It primarily affects the respiratory system and can be severe in individuals with weakened immune systems.

A negative result means that Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, and Penicillium were not detected in the specific area swabbed. It does not rule out mold in unsampled hidden areas.

The standard consumer retail box contains one complete single-use test kit. Contractor packs and bulk boxes are available with 10 or more tests.

Yes, mold thrives in high humidity. Keeping your home's relative humidity below 50% (ideally between 30% and 50%) using dehumidifiers and AC units is key to preventing growth.

Yes, testing a small sample of accumulated dust from your vacuum bag or HEPA filter is an excellent way to get a composite screen of the mold spores present throughout your home.
