At ARE Labs, we understand the critical importance of bioaerosol mitigation in safeguarding health, enhancing medical and dental procedure safety, and boosting agricultural productivity. Our specialized testing services extend beyond traditional systems, offering bespoke assessments for a wide array of unique and innovative devices. Leveraging our advanced facilities and deep scientific expertise, we are adept at addressing challenges ranging from conventional systems to cutting-edge solutions.
Evaluating Aerosol Risks: Dental tools such as handpieces and ultrasonic scalers, along with medical equipment like cauterizing tools, CPAP machines, and bronchoscopes, are known to produce bioaerosols. ARE Labs excels in assessing devices designed to mitigate these aerosol risks, evaluating their effectiveness and safety features.
Assessing Novel Mitigation Approaches: Our expertise isn't limited to standard equipment. We thoroughly evaluate innovative solutions like air curtains and specialized tables designed to shield from bioaerosols, ensuring they meet performance expectations while upholding health standards.
Protecting Sensitive Crops: The challenges of bioaerosols extend to agricultural settings, particularly in greenhouses cultivating crops like cannabis. We test mitigation systems to protect against mold and other contaminants, ensuring crop safety and optimal yields.
Expert System Design and Building: Given the unique nature of each device, ARE Labs specializes in designing, building, and utilizing specialized testing systems tailored to each client’s specific requirements. Our custom-built systems ensure test results accurately reflect client needs, whether it's for bioaerosol decontamination, mitigation, or generation.
Extensive Microbial Testing: Our rigorous approach includes testing with a wide spectrum of microbial genera such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, Aspergillus, and Clostridium. This breadth of testing ensures a thorough evaluation of devices under diverse conditions. You can find a complete list of organisms we test with here.
