Cirro-Pure Mould Detection
Precision Technology for a Hidden Threat
Mould is a type of fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. These hyphae form a network called a mycelium, which is often visible on surfaces as discoloured patches—commonly green, black, grey, or white.
How our detection system works:
The Cirro-Pure Mould Detection device is now a patented, field-ready technology used by Certified Cirro-Pure Preferred Providers across the UK. It provides accurate, real-time readings of:
-
Spore Density (spores/cm²)
-
Surfaces are tested for fungal spore concentrations invisible to the naked eye. This gives an exact measurement of contamination severity.
-
-
Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCs – parts per trillion)
-
Our advanced sensors detect airborne by-products released by active or dormant mould, even when no visible mould is present. Measuring in parts per trillion (ppt) ensures we detect what others miss.
-
Together, these data points offer a comprehensive profile of the mould presence in any environment — from walls and furniture to atmospheric air quality.
Types of Mould:
Growth and Reproduction:
Mould thrives in warm, damp, and poorly ventilated environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, lofts, basements, and around leaky roofs or windows. Mould reproduces by releasing microscopic spores into the air. These spores can settle and grow on damp, organic-rich surfaces.
