Bring Analysis in-house with MARVIN Lens, Your AI Microbiologist
MARVIN Lens was developed over 4 years by our team of dedicated engineers and scientists to automate best practice mold spore identification and counting.
With MARVIN Lens, anyone can perform highly skilled testing that would otherwise take months of training. Free yourself from your mold lab, with MARVIN Lens you can win more work by providing same-day reports as standard!
Fast Analysis
Aided by MARVIN Lens, a single operator can process up to ten times more analysis without degrading results otherwise caused by analyst fatigue.
Superior Result
Human analysts only look at 25% of the total sample area, vastly increasing the risk of missing dangerous mold types. MARVIN Lens analyses the whole sample area.
Detection of all common molds, including:
Stachybotrys (Black mold), Chaetomium, Ulocladium, Fusarium, Alternaria, Aspergillus/Penicillium, Cladosporium, Ascospores, and more!

Automating the Industry Standard
MARVIN Lens is designed to automate the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard test method (ASTM D7391-20) for identifying and quantifying airborne mold spores. Like a human analyst, MARVIN Lens results are subjective to experience, and training. However, as the system is automated results can be expected to remain consistent where a human analyst would begin to suffer mental and optical fatigue that will introduce new errors into their analysis.
Excerpt from ASTM D7391-20:
This test method is used to estimate and categorize the number and type of fungal structures present on an inertial impactor sample. Fungal structures are identified and quantified regardless of whether they would or would not grow in culture. It must be emphasized that the detector in this test method is the analyst, and therefore results are subjective, depending on the experience, training, qualification, and mental and optical fatigue of the analyst.
This standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information does a MARVIN Lens report contain?
How can I trust the accuracy of MARVIN Lens?
MARVIN mold was developed in very close co-ordination with senior microbioligists. Through this process we collected over ten thousand images of common mold spores, used to train and test the MARVIN AI.
Can I buy a MARVIN Lens for my own business?
Absolutely! We believe mold professionals should be able to provide same-day mold monitoring results as standard. You don’t have to be a big business to leverage MARVIN Lens.
