Redefining Air Quality Testing: Air Allergen Launches $18 AI-Based Mold Lab Analysis to Honor Founder’s Legacy

In an era where environmental health is more critical than ever, Air Allergen & Mold Testing is proud to announce a groundbreaking step forward in mold and indoor air quality testing. With the launch of its $18 AI-powered lab analysis, Air Allergen is delivering same-day results, increased accuracy, and unprecedented affordability—all while paying tribute to the legacy of its founder, Richard Johnson.

This initiative isn’t just a technical upgrade. It’s a mission-driven movement that blends state-of-the-art artificial intelligence with more than 20 years of expertise in environmental diagnostics. And at its heart is a singular vision: making clean air and reliable testing accessible for all.

A Legacy Reimagined Through Technology

Richard Johnson founded Air Allergen with a deep passion for environmental health and a relentless commitment to scientific integrity. Over two decades, he built a company that became one of the nation’s most trusted labs in the fight against indoor air pollution, mold exposure, and preventable respiratory illness.

While Richard’s passing left a void in the industry and the hearts of many, his vision continues to guide the next generation of innovation at Air Allergen. The launch of this AI-based platform is a living tribute—a way to carry his mission forward with even greater precision, speed, and impact.

“Richard believed everyone deserved access to accurate, affordable air quality data,” said an Air Allergen spokesperson. “Now, we’re turning that belief into reality.”

Powered by AI, Validated by Scientists

The centerpiece of this new offering is a machine-learning platform built in collaboration with Techcyte, a global leader in AI-enhanced lab analysis. For over seven years, Air Allergen and Techcyte have worked together to build one of the most sophisticated spore analysis systems available today.

Traditional mold analysis relies on human technicians who manually examine roughly 20–30% of a microscope slide due to time and labor limitations. Unfortunately, mold spores often cluster unevenly, meaning the sections analyzed may not reflect the true scope of contamination. This can lead to inconsistent or incomplete results.

Air Allergen’s AI system changes everything.

With the power of machine learning—trained on tens of thousands of microbiologist-verified slides—the system analyzes 100% of each sample. This ensures consistent, accurate, and detailed identification of over 90+ mold spores and 10+ airborne particulates.

All results are consolidated into a streamlined, 2–3 page report, designed to be both technically thorough and easy to understand.

Three Affordable Tiers to Serve Every Need

To meet the unique needs of different clients—from home inspectors to attorneys—Air Allergen is introducing three new service tiers, designed for speed, affordability, and customization:

AI Basic Standard Report – $18

  • Fully AI-generated mold analysis
  • 100% slide coverage for unmatched accuracy
  • Same-day results
  • Ideal for routine or initial investigations

AI + Mycologist Premium Report – $35

  • Combines AI speed with expert human review
  • Perfect for litigation, complex properties, or when additional verification is needed
  • Comprehensive and court-defensible

Direct Swab, Tape Lift, and Bulk Report – $35

  • Fully reviewed by an experienced mycologist
  • Designed for non-spore trap samples
  • Ensures specialized accuracy across all collection methods

Compared to traditional lab fees of $28–$30 per test, these new rates offer up to 35% cost savings, while delivering faster and more comprehensive results.

Same-Day Turnaround, Because Time Matters

Speed is often as important as accuracy in air quality testing. Whether it’s a homebuyer facing a closing deadline, a property manager needing compliance data, or a mold remediation team mid-project, waiting days for results can delay critical decisions.

That’s why Air Allergen guarantees same-day results for all samples received by 12 PM EST—across every pricing tier.

“Time shouldn’t be a barrier to safety,” said the spokesperson. “With same-day reporting, our clients can move forward with confidence.”

A Global Standard of Excellence

Air Allergen is proud to be one of only two laboratories worldwide accredited under ISO/IEC 17027:2017 for AI-powered analysis across Spore Traps, Tape Lifts, Swabs, and Bulk Samples.

This accreditation reflects Air Allergen’s ongoing commitment to scientific rigor, process integrity, and continuous improvement. It assures clients that every result meets the highest international standards for quality and reproducibility.

Despite this global recognition, Air Allergen remains firmly committed to personalized, local service. The team continues to work hand-in-hand with inspectors, remediators, property managers, and health-conscious homeowners to make clean indoor environments a reality.

Who Benefits from AI-Powered Testing?

These new AI testing solutions are ideal for a wide range of professionals and use cases:

  • Home Inspectors needing fast, reliable reports for pre-purchase evaluations
  • Mold Remediation Specialists requiring detailed documentation for project verification
  • Property Managers overseeing large portfolios with routine testing needs
  • HVAC Contractors validating clean air systems or post-installation performance
  • Environmental Consultants seeking court-defensible data for litigation or insurance claims

No matter the industry or scale, Air Allergen’s new system is built to empower professionals with better data, faster decisions, and greater trust.

Try It Risk-Free: Your First Sample is On Us

To celebrate the launch of this transformative service and honor Richard Johnson’s legacy of accessibility, Air Allergen is offering a FREE sample test to all new clients.

There’s:

  • No credit card required
  • No contracts

Professionals are invited to send in a spore trap sample and receive a same-day AI-generated report—risk-free. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the Air Allergen difference for yourself.

“We’re not just disrupting the lab industry—we’re improving it for everyone,” said the spokesperson.

Looking Ahead: A Legacy That Lives and Breathes

This AI-powered launch is more than a product milestone—it’s a continuation of a promise.

Richard Johnson founded Air Allergen with the belief that science should serve people, not just protocols. He saw firsthand how poor indoor air quality impacted families, and he made it his mission to fight for healthier, safer environments—regardless of income or background.

Today, every spore counted, every slide scanned, and every report sent carries that legacy forward.

“We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built,” said the spokesperson. “But even more than that, we’re proud to carry on Richard’s belief: that everyone deserves clean air, accurate information, and peace of mind—without having to pay a premium.”
