Can tape lift analysis detect toxic black mould?

Yes, tape lift analysis can detect moulds associated with toxigenic potential, such as Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly referred to as "toxic black mould"). The analysis identifies the mould genus and, in many cases, the species based on microscopic characteristics. However, determining toxicity requires further chemical testing, as not all Stachybotrys strains produce mycotoxins.
