Air & Surface Sampling – UKAS‑Accredited Analysis


BioSweep® UK provides professional air and surface sampling using UKAS-accredited laboratory methods, delivering accurate, reliable, and verifiable results. Our testing identifies airborne spores, microbial contaminants, odour-causing compounds, and other environmental hazards across residential, commercial, and healthcare settings.

We use recognised sampling techniques -Air-O-Cell, Tedlar® bag sampling, surface swabs, and ATP/rapid detection swabs - giving both quantitative and qualitative data to support remediation, odour control, or decontamination decisions.


Our Sampling Methods


  • Air-O-Cell Testing: Measures airborne spores, mould fragments, and particulate contamination to assess indoor air quality and potential biological hazards.

  • Tedlar® Bag Sampling: Collects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorous gases for precise laboratory analysis, supporting odour assessment and source identification.

  • Surface & Environmental Swabs: Sterile swabs sample mould, microbial contaminants, and specific faecal bacteria to evaluate contamination on surfaces and high-touch areas.

  • ATP & Rapid Detection Swabs: Immediate bioluminescence ATP testing verifies cleanliness and identifies biological contamination in real time, complementing laboratory results.

  • Water Sampling can be combined with our air and surface testing to provide a comprehensive environmental assessment for residential, commercial, and healthcare sites.
