2 days left to secure current pricing

Our Mosaic Diagnostics tests will increase from 1st April.

If testing has been on your mind, now is the time to lock in the current rate.

🔔 Important Update

Due to recent increases in laboratory costs from Mosaic Diagnostics, we have had to review pricing on a small number of tests that utilise their laboratory services.

This will impact the following tests:
• Organic Acids Test (OAT)
• MycoTOX Profile
• OAT & MycoTOX Bundle

All other tests we offer remain unaffected at this time.

We have worked hard to keep the impact on our clients as minimal as possible. To help with this, we are currently absorbing ongoing increases in courier costs (including FedEx) in order to keep our overall fees as competitive as possible.

In order to continue providing access to specialist international laboratory analysis and maintain our level of service, a small adjustment to these specific tests will be necessary.

These changes will come into effect from 1st April.

Current pricing will remain available until 31st March.

As always, we remain committed to providing reliable, evidence-based testing and supporting our clients every step of the way.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

🚨 IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING A “MOULD TEST” 🚨

We are aware of increasing confusion caused by other companies using similar names.

👉 We are www.mouldlab.co.uk

👉 We are NOT affiliated with any other company using “Mould Lab” or similar branding

At Mould Lab Ltd, we only provide professional test kits analysed by specialist laboratories, producing objective, evidence-based results.

⚠️ Many products currently being sold online as “mould tests” involve self-analysis or visual interpretation.
These are NOT scientifically valid, NOT reliable, and should not be used to make decisions about your health or property.

If a result is not backed by laboratory analysis, it is simply not a test.

Where possible, we would always recommend engaging a qualified professional to assess your environment, particularly where health concerns are involved.

We would also recommend checking exactly how results are generated before purchasing any product in this space.

If in doubt, please contact us directly — we are happy to help.

Not all mould tests are the same.

We've recently received a few enquiries from people asking if we can interpret their petri dishes purchased elsewhere online believing we are the same company.

Just to clarify, Mould Lab Ltd (mouldlab.co.uk) is an independent UK company and is not affiliated with other businesses using similar names.

Many DIY mould tests require the user to interpret mould growth themselves. Because mould spores are naturally present in indoor and outdoor air, mould will often grow on culture plates even in healthy environments.

Without laboratory analysis, it may be difficult to determine whether mould detected is normal background mould or associated with water damage.

If you are ever unsure about mould testing, feel free to contact us.

News that parts of a cancer ward at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital have been closed due to water ingress and mould is heartbreaking to see.

Patients and families already going through so much are now facing further disruption because of building issues. News like this is incredibly difficult to read, especially knowing the people affected are already dealing with serious health challenges.

No one undergoing cancer treatment should have to face additional disruption because of problems within the building environment.

At the same time, stories like this are helping to bring wider awareness to something many people still underestimate — the risks associated with water damage and mould within buildings.

When water gets into building materials such as walls, ceilings or flooring, it can create the conditions where mould begins to grow. In environments where people may already be vulnerable, understanding and managing these issues becomes even more important.

Stories like this remind us that mould isn’t just a cosmetic issue — our indoor environments play an important role in health. Hopefully, as situations like this gain more attention, awareness, education and standards will continue to improve around not only identifying these issues, but addressing them properly.

If you're concerned about mould in your home, take the time to learn the signs and understand what to look for. Greater awareness is one of the most important steps in protecting the health of those living within the building.

FRIDAY FOCUS: Understanding Immune Load in PANS & PANDAS

PANS and PANDAS are complex inflammatory conditions.
They aren’t simply “an infection problem” — they involve immune activation and neuroinflammation.

For some children, triggers may include infections.
For others, it can be a combination of immune stressors.

Every child is different. Every case is different.

If symptoms persist or feel confusing, families often begin looking at the bigger picture — including inflammation, immune load, and sometimes environmental factors.

What’s so important is that families don’t feel alone navigating this.

Organisations like PANS PANDAS UK are doing incredible work raising awareness, providing resources, supporting parents, and advocating for better recognition and care.

If this condition affects you or someone you love:

• Explore their excellent educational resources
• Join the supportive community
• Share their work
• And if you’re able, consider supporting the charity

These families deserve understanding, not dismissal.
