Mould spore trap analysis · Microbiology · Sample chain-of-custody
Maria leads Sysco's in-house laboratory, overseeing every sample from receipt to reported result. Her specialism is the microscopic identification and enumeration of fungal spores from non-viable spore-trap cassettes — the data clients rely on to interpret indoor mould events, post-flood remediation and IAQ complaints.
She also manages our microbiological work — TVC, tape-lift culture and bacterial speciation — and keeps the lab's QA, traceability and turnaround-time discipline that referring hygienists and remediation contractors depend on.

- Mould spore-trap analysis & speciation
