Thanks Gin! I read their site last night. I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried those new home tests. I guess they're probably as accurate as the ones you send the plant sample to the lab.

But thanks!

Use Critter Creek Labs. The more samples you send off the cheaper it is. You must cut off a section from the new growth.

One thing to keep in mind is that the tests are for known virus's If you think you might have a Virus and the tests have been shown to negative you should try to get someone in a University who has electron microscope capability to look at it for you.
