This depends on your situation. This test kit comes with a single petri dish that you would use in one space/room. Your sample can be gathered one of 4 ways, 1. HVAC air sampling (attaching the petri dish to an air vent). 2. Visual Sampling (finding a mold growth and rubbing a sterile swab against it and then rubbing the sample against the petri dish) 3. Settling Air Sampling (have open petri dish exposed to the air for a period of time) 4. Bulk Sampling - Put a small sample of mold into a plastic bag. Personally, I have just moved into a new apartment and am running the mold test myself. I have no visible mold (though having an allergic reaction to something) so I am running the HVAC air sampling in my bedroom and the settling air sampling in the two rooms I spend the most time outside of the bedroom (kitchen and home office). Based on how those results come back, I may get additional kits for additional rooms.
