You can buy a testing kit online. Some testing kits require you to collect the sample and send it to a lab for results. Some kits allow you to test a sample at home yourself using a solution on a test strip. The test strip has line indicators to represent the levels of allergens present in your home. Testing for dust mites is a good idea if all preventive measures have not improved your allergy symptoms. Dust mite home-testing kits come with a dust collecting container that attaches to a vacuum cleaner’s hose. The filter traps dust samples inside the dust collector while you vacuum. Indoor allergen test kits are useful for testing air quality if you have breathing issues at home. If the collector doesn’t fit on the hose, use the adapter that comes with the testing kit. You can attach the adapter to the hose, and then attach the collector to the adapter. To make sure the collector is secure, turn the vacuum on and place your hand over the opening of the nozzle to feel for suction. Each of these 4 areas should be the size of a letter-sized page of paper. Vacuum each section for 30 seconds each to collect an adequate sample of dust to test. This comes to 2 minutes total. You can test carpet, bedding, curtains, dusty shelves, and so on. The heaviest concentration of dust mites can be found in fibers, so carpets and mattresses are the best place to test. Leave the filter inside the dust collector when you remove it. The filter needs to remain inside, because you’ll be testing it with a solution that comes with the kit. Don’t put your hand down inside the container to touch the filter, especially if you have allergies to dust mites. These kits come with bottom caps to seal the bottoms of the dust collectors, because you’ll be putting testing fluid in it. The collector serves as a container for the indoor contaminant. Dust mite testing kits come with testing a solution that you pour directly into the dust collector with the filter inside. The solution mixes with the dust to detect mites.  Once the liquid is in the dust collector, press the top cap on the top opening, and shake for 1 minute. Leave the solution and dust to set for 4 minutes. Letting it set allows the dust and solution to blend together, so it will give accurate results on the test strip. Using the dropper that comes in the test kit, suck some of the solution and dust from the collector. It should take 10 minutes for the test strip to show results.  Results will appear as pink and red lines on the test strip. The test strip has a C and a T symbol under which the pink lines will appear. C means control, and T means test. The T mark is where the results of the test show up. The control, or C, shows what all the different shades of pink mean. A red or pink line will appear under the T mark. Compare the color of that line with the high, medium or low indicators shown under the control, or C, symbol.  If the line is pinkish red or dark red, mite levels are medium to high. If the line is light pink or invisible, that means mites are undetectable or very low. The kit will come with 2 tests, so you can use the second one in another room. If you checked a carpet in the living room, check the carpet or sheets in a bedroom. To test other areas, repeat this process with the second kit.

It is administered by the Graduate Management Admissions Council several times throughout the year at several locations and costs $250. Alternatively, some schools require a GRE, which is similar to the SAT. US News and World Reports ranks MBA’s according to specialties and even ranks part time programs.
