Stop mold before it spreads

Rapid Mold Detection for Environmental Monitoring

Molds spread quickly, are hard to detect early, and can jeopardize both product safety and compliance. RMBNucleus™ Mold Alarm enables rapid response — signaling potential mold growth in as little as one day so investigations and remediation can begin immediately.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Risk of Mold Contamination

  • Mold spores can spread throughout facilities in the time it takes to confirm their presence with traditional methods.
  • Manual identification is subjective, labor-intensive, and often delayed until the end of incubation.
  • Environmental monitoring teams face delayed remediation, increased contamination costs, and heightened regulatory scrutiny.

RMBNucleus™ Mold Alarm addresses these challenges by automating mold detection and delivering qualitative, actionable alerts long before traditional confirmation methods.

Proven Performance

  • In verification studies, Mold Alarm detected mold in 80% of cassettes within 24 hours, across both TSA LP80 and TSA LP80HT media.
  • ≥ 95% detection accuracy across common EM incubation temperatures (22 °C, 28 °C, 32 °C).
  • Rigorous evaluation against 15 challenging non-mold isolates (e.g. Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Candida) confirmed specificity and minimized false positives.

Validation Services are available for Mold Alarm as a modular package, including on-site execution, approved protocols, and full documentation to support inspections.

Benefits at a Glance

Earlier remediation
Mold Alarm detects contamination in as little as 24 hours, compared to 3–5+ days with traditional methods. This allows cleaning and remediation procedures to start sooner, shortening downtime and reducing the risk of facility-wide spread.
Reduced workload
Manual inspection of every cassette below action/alert limits is no longer necessary. Automated alerts highlight only those samples with mold signals, saving hours of analyst time and reducing fatigue in high-volume EM programs.
Improved compliance
Automated detection integrates with Growth Direct® audit trails and LIMS connectivity, ensuring every mold alert is secure, timestamped, and traceable. Reports can be extracted instantly in formats that support inspection readiness.
Lower risk
Faster containment prevents contamination from escalating, protecting both product quality and patient safety. By reducing reliance on operator interpretation, Mold Alarm minimizes human error and strengthens overall quality assurance.
Simple to adopt

Just a Software Update Away

RMBNucleus™ Mold Alarm integrates directly into your existing Growth Direct® System software. Implementation requires no changes to sampling methods or cassette handling — only an upgrade that adds new real-time detection capability.
