Determining the conditions products are fit to withstand is half the battle of bringing them to market. Of course, you want quality construction and reliable materials, but you also need to be sure of their environmental integrity. Stringent testing from a quality microbiology laboratory is an important step in obtaining and keeping consumer confidence in goods sold. The MicroStar Microbiology Laboratory is a trusted partner when it comes to testing a variety of products to ensure that they are resistant to mold growth when subjected to warm and humid environments. Their MIL-STD-810G fungus test is one of many used to determine well a product can withstand this particular environmental stressor. Other fungus-resistant tests that they perform include RTCA DO-160 method 13 Fungus, ASTM G-21, ASTM D3273 and ASTM C1338.
The MicroStar Lab originally started out as a facility that tested paint, paper and building materials. They've since evolved into the premier testing lab for all types of industries, putting their extensive expertise to use testing many different types of products and materials. Their world-class facilities and superior testing methods provide consistent, reliable and reproducible results.

In addition to mold testing, The MicroStar Lab provides testing for the paper and textile industries, specializing in microbiological control of building materials, paints and paper, offering the confidence necessary when it comes to proving that certain materials will stand the test of time.
A MIL-STD-810G method 508.6 fungus test is performed on materials to determine how well they withstand different environmental aggressors. One of the most important determinations is to see how well materials hold up in extremely warm, humid conditions. For example, The MicroStar Lab is retained to perform testing to determine the likelihood of fungal growth on materials used by the military. Fungal testing is often a necessity on everything from electronic equipment to firearms, computers and personal apparel. Anything that might be susceptible to fungus cannot be used, and it is important to be certain of that before items are approved for use in the field. Earlier versions of the Mil-STD 810 fungus test are also available for manufacturers supplying replacement parts for equipment that was qualified under 810C, 810D, 810E, or 810F.
The microbiologists at The MicroStar Lab are among the best when it comes to performing the MIL-STD-810G fungus testing on a wide variety of materials. The service you get at The MicroStar Lab will demonstrate that they have the knowledge necessary to tailor the testing to ensure your products receive a fair and objective evaluation under the conditions you need them to. The MicroStar Lab also works closely with other testing facilities to expand the MIL-STD-810G protocols that they can offer when the materiel is being exposed to other environmental stressors such as salt, fog, vibrations, extreme temperatures, dust, solar radiation, altitude and mechanical shock. Their environmental testing capabilities work in tandem with these facilities that need assistance when it comes to thorough testing for fungal growth on a wide variety of materials – something The MicroStar Lab accomplishes with the utmost expertise and professionalism.
